KHALID COVERS TRACY CHAPMAN’S “FAST CAR”

Everyone in the music industry loves to do their take on the classic, “Fast Car.” Originally sung by Tracy Chapman this song will always hold a place in everyone’s heart. It’s the type of song you hear on the radio and the world stops for a few minutes. The song was released in April 1988 as the lead single from her self-titled debut album.

Listen to the original here if you haven’t already:

Even over a decade ago it is still inspiring other artists.

Justin Bieber did a cover about a year ago that has racked up 14 million views on Youtube.

Love him or hate him, it’s a pretty good cover.

Listen to it here:

The latest artist to cover the song is Khalid and he’s quite the cover king. He has done covers of SZA’s “Love Galore,” Frank Ocean’s “Lost,” and Calvin Harris’s “Rollin.” He performed at BBC’s Live Lounge came with another strong acoustic remake of “Fast Car” and it is lovely.

LIL YACHTY HAS BHAD BHABIE’S BACK

It looks like Lil Yachty has chosen to work with new rapper Danielle Bregoli (aka Bhad Bhabie or the Cash Me Ousside Girl) regardless of what haters have to say. Yachty even says she’s better than a lot of rappers out now.

A video recently surfaced via Instagram of the two entertainers in the studio. This video sparked some controversy amongst Yachty fans and some weren’t feeling the move. People questioned why Yachty would choose to work with someone like Bregoli. TMZ states that when asked about working with Bhad Bhabie, Yachty seemed confused that people would question her talents as an artist.

“Suck my dick, she is [a rapper],” Yachty snapped. “She harder than a lot of niggas. On God.”

Bregoli added a video of Yachty via Instagram with the caption “u never know who gonna pop up on da tour…”

Who knows what’s next!

A BOOGIE AND 50 CENT COLLAB COMING SOON?

2017 was a big year for A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie with the release of his first album The Bigger Artist, that debuted at #4 on the billboard 200. His single “Say A” and his hit featuring Kodak Black “Drowning” were a huge success and amongst all this, the Bronx MC is still working like he’s just getting started.

A Boogie gave HipHopDX a taste of his plans to keep his momentum going strong. He explains there’s no limit with what he can do with his talents.

“I like to do anything I’m capable of doing with my voice,” he explained. “So if I could do a pop song, why not? If I can do a savage song and go crazy on that for the streets, why not? If I can do a song that’s R&B, why not? So anything I can reach, rock star, anywhere I’m going there and in 2018, you’re gonna see every type of genre that I reach.”

The rapper then teased of some possible upcoming collaborations with Mr. New York himself: 50 Cent.

“There’s billionaires that came out of the rap system, so that platform right there is for us to follow…We can’t just sit here and make music and think it’s all good. That ain’t it. [We] gotta do more than that, man. We got something in the works too. Me and 50 made a song. We’ll probably have another song coming, we’ll probably have three by the end of the week.”

A Boogie also mentions working with Future and Young Thug in the future.
