As far as I know, the Canadian collective BadBadNotGood started of doing pretty rad instrumental versions of various hip hop tunes such as THIS jazzy interpretation of A Tribe Called Quest's song Electric Relaxation or THIS tribute to Odd Future, earlier this year. As of late it seems the BBNG have started to make quite a buzz around themselves. Last week the trio posted some videos on their website jamming with Tyler, The Creator. Looking forward to see what will come from these Canadians in the future.
Listen to BBNG's take on some Nas and ODB cuts here:
BadBadNotGood - The World Is Yours/Brooklyn Zoo
"Jazz is something that's already happened, the reason you play jazz standards is old people know the melodies. So if you play a hip-hop song that people know, they can hear your version and appreciate what's happening. A young person doesn't give a fuck how you play 'Stella By Starlight.' - Matthew Tavares, BBNG
