PHANTOGRAM ON BIG BOI’S “CPU 2.0”
Date:
Rapper Big Boi is re-imagining material from his past lives as one half of the hip-hop duo OutKast and the successful solo artist behind hits like “Shutterbugg” to unveil a series of mash-up mixes in advance of a solo album expected later this year.
The first fruit of the project is a lounge-y take on the tune “CPU”, which was originally created with cutting edge duo Phantogram for 2012’s Vicious Lies & Dangerous Rumors. The new take, entitled “CPU 2.0”, takes elements of the original and pairs it with pieces of “Nothing Can Come Between Us” by sultry singer Sade.
