There’s definitely an argument to be made for Aussie hip-hop artists providing us with the most innovative and impressive triple j Like A Versions. They just never cease to impress. Remember Tuka’s incredible take on Angus & Julia Stone’s ‘Big Jet Plane’?
Continuing the incredible roll our homegrown emcees have been on is Citizen Kay, who entered the triple j studios this morning to lay down an incredibly fun and funky mash-up of Kanye West’s ‘Gold Digger’ and The Commodores’ ‘Brick House’.
What starts off as a bouncy mash-up of two classic tracks then takes a detour into a rendition of Mark Ronson and Bruno Mars’ 2014 mega-hit ‘Uptown Funk’, which serves as a fitting denouement for what’s a frontrunner for the best Like A Version of 2016 so far.
As we’ve previously mentioned, this year’s Like A Version series has gotten off to an interesting start – we’ve seen a heart-wrenching David Bowie cover, an ambitious mash-up from this year’s Hottest 100 winners, a revamp of a Hottest 100 favourite, and what was maybe the most un-triple j Like A Version ever.
