Weekly Remix: Angel Haze - "New York" (King Krule Rework)


British Indie songwriter King Krule, formerly known as Zoo Kid, is known for his dark sounding songs that couple his rich baritone voice with UK dubstep influences to create a haunting atmosphere for his melodic guitar work. Showing off his production skills, he recently reworked Brooklyn MC Angel Haze's breakout track "New York." While the original relies on the straightforward rhythm led by the handclaps sampled from Gil-Scott Heron's "New York is Kiling Me," King Krule sets the fiery, crass vocals of Haze to a beat heavily indebted to early UK dubstep to give the track a feel that is as much London as it is early 90's Brooklyn. The fact that an 18-year-old British kid has made one of the most striking hip-hop instrumentals of this year is reason enough for you to check out this rework below.
