That's Wilco, Mavis Staples, and Nick Lowe preforming The Weight originally by The Band.

thanks to Buzzfeed for showing me this

Jazz Hiphop fusion

I'm starting to see a wonderful trend in music in which artists are starting to put jazz behind their rhymes or in the case of BADBADNOTGOOD making jazz versions of hip hop songs. Check out these songs and tell me what you think.


Kids These Days are a huge group with a bunch of musicians, some vocalists and some rappers. Check them out for sure as I expect they will get some more attention in 2012

BADBADNOTGOOD are a jazz group that does covers/re imaginings of hip songs in addition to some more original stuff. This is them covering NAS' "The World is Yours" and ODB's "Brooklyn Zoo". They are also known for doing some ODD Future covers. Big up to my man Savestheday for hippin' me to them.
