Novel - B*tch Don't Kill My Vibe (Soul Mix)
Artist: Novel
Producer: Justin Kahler, Alex Naylor & Tony Reyes
Album: None (Promo Single)
Label: Unsigned
Last night, ATL phenom and longtime friend of the Booth Novel took home his first Grammy for his songwriting contributions to Lecrae‘s Gravity LP, this year’s winner for Best Gospel Album. Fittingly, his latest feature finds him reworking a record by a fellow reader fave who would have received a trophy if his album had dropped a month earlier. I’m talking, of course, about Kendrick Lamar, whose B**tch Don’t Kill My Vibe gets a soulful makeover on Novel’s latest promo single. Justin Kahler, Alex Naylor and Tony Reyes rebuild the record’s Sounwave-produced beat from the ground up, ornamenting the central riff with added guitar work and a complexified bassline as the artist offers a smooth reinterpretation of Lamar’s lyrics. This cover isn’t part of a larger project, but those who like what they’re hearing can click here to peep a behind-the-scenes video of its creation.

No, this is not like a completely new song...as a matter of fact, its the SAME damn song... I thought Novel would have put a verse or something in there totally different... This is OK, could have been better.

Its a interpretation, hence the 'JAZZ/SOUL' title. Meant to be mostly instrumentation. But I do appreciate the kind words. I don't expect everyone to get everything I do.... Those that do get it, ROLL ONE UP! :)
