One of Canada’s finest DJs/producers in the game right now, the 6God bass heavyweight who goes by Grandtheft, has teamed up with Diplo to give Rihanna’s latest US radio anthem, BBHMM, an ass-slaping, stomach-rattling facelift. The track, originally produced by Deputy, Travi$ Scott, WondaGurl and Kanye West, gets the addition of a bunch of hi-hats, 808s, and trumpets - the boys thankfully refrain from turning it into a huge guns blazing, bassy EDM affair, while still creating something more high-energy (and, festival-ready) than the original. Listen below.
Both Diplo and Rihanna have albums on the way. Diplo’s working on the new Major Lazer album, that’s set to see guest spots by way of Pusha T, Travis $cott, Ellie Goulding, 2 Chainz, and MØ, while Rihanna's working on her eighth studio album, with Kanye onboard as executive producer. Listen to the Rhi-mix below.
Rihanna recently made her fifth appearance on Saturday Night Live, turning SNL's Studio 8H into a film noir set for a performance of BBHMM, the singer drives and sings with a kidnapped girl in the backseat, while being pursued by police. Watch it via Billboard.
