Krept & Konan Cover ‘Mo Money Mo Problems’ on 1Xtra Live Lounge

It's not easy to cover a classic hit single, and win people over with your own version. But London rap duo Krept & Konan did just that.

Earlier today, Krept & Konan hit up BBC Radio 1Xtra for their live lounge performance. The duo performed their brand new single ‘Freak of The Week’ (currently at #4 in the official midweek chart), as well as a cover of The Notorious B.I.G's ‘Mo Money Mo Problems’ featuring Puffy & Mase, that left people excited for their debut project.

Sounding amazing on the vocals is singer ShezAr who joined Krept & Konan to perform ‘Mo Money Mo Problems’ as she sang the catchy hook with her own spin to it. The real MVP of this cover though, is Krept who delivered with a Biggie flow in his verse and killed it.

Their debut LP ‘The Long Way Home’ is out on Sunday, 5th July and features guest appearances from Rick Ross, Emeli Sandé, Ed Sheeran, YG, Wiz Khalifa, Skepta, Rebecca Garton and Jeremih who features on their ‘Freak of The Week’ single, out now.

Last week, Krept & Konan unveiled one of the many remixes to ‘Freak of The Week’ featuring Bashment/Dancehall king Beenie Man and crooner Popcaan; listen here.

Krept & Konan will be playing the Pepsi Max Arena stage this Friday 3rd July at Wireless Festival. Order ‘Freak of The Week’ on iTunes: http://po.st/FOTWitYT and their new album ‘The Long Way Home’ (iTunes/Google Play/Signed CD) out Sunday, 5th July.

New Music: Krept & Konan - Freak of The Week (Remix) ft. Jeremih, Beenie Man & Popcaan

If you thought the original was hot... Wait until you hear the remix...

‘Freak of The Week’ is doing exactly what Krept & Konan expected for it to do, be the sound of the summer! And have all the girls go crazy for it in the club.

The single, out June 28th, has been all over the airwaves for the past month with Radio 1 picking it up for their a-list and the video already reaching over 4m views on YouTube, has now got a remix to it featuring Jamaica's Dancehall heavyweight Beenie Man and Bashment crooner Popcaan. 

It comes as no surprise to many Beenie Man's feature on the remix, as the original sounded a lot similar to his 1997 reggae hit single ‘Who Am I (Sim Simma)’.

Along with the new remix, the band also announced their signing to American hip hop goliaths Def Jam Records ahead of the release of their hotly anticipated debut album ‘The Long Way Home’ out July 5th.
