The track below is last year’s “HYPNTZ” by Dan Black, a super original take on a Biggie classic which boasts an incredibly dope chorus. The arrangement samples drums from Rihanna’s “Umbrella,” strings from the Starman soundtrack, and Biggie’s lyrics. However, Big Poppa’s estate wasn’t so down with this usage and didn’t give Black the go ahead to release “HYPNTZ” on a record…bummer. Having to rewrite the lyrics spawned “Lost the track, struggled back” and voila, “Symphonies” was produced. Peep the “Symphonies” video above, download the “HYPNTZ” cover below.
Hit up BlackSpace for more tunes including a Passion Pit remix of “Symphonies.” Black’s debut album will drop July 13, purchase it from overseas here.
