Axel: Holy shit Train, where you been at?

Train: You know son, the models and bottles lifestyle keeps me pretty busy sometimes…

Axel: Yeah, whatever you say. Anyway, I brought my friend Billy along, I told him we were going to a cover song party.

Train: Then you’re at the right place…though I don’t think the tux was entirely necessary…

B-B-B-Bonus time! Since I’ve been MIA for a hot minute I thought I’d hook you up with a bonus song and vid this go around. First up is a song by Chiddy Bang that samples MGMT’s ‘Kids’.  I know I’ve said this before, but I’m loving this trend of sampling indie gems for hip hop songs. Take a listen:

Chiddy Bang - Kids (ft. MGMT)

Next up is a kickass video that my boy Frank turned me onto - NYU students covering Lil’ Wayne’s “Let The Beat Build” with a few timely lyrics thrown in there for good measure.  Peep the goodness below.

Need more covers?!? Check out Parts One, Two, Three, Four and Five!
