Episode 4 of Andreena‘s acoustic viral joints!

Singer/Songwriter Andreena releases 4th installment of the “Covers: Revisited” series with “Oh God” by Luke James.

Andreena continues to slay with her acoustic rendition of Beyoncé’s tour opener Luke James’ hit record “Oh God.” The record produced by and featuring Hit Boy was a cult favourite to R&B lovers across the board. Andreena takes the piano solo in the song and does it complete justice by executing something simple and effortless.

Holy sh*t this is way too classic! The homie Dan-e-o at age 13 on MuchMusic. Crazy. And Lindo at the end! Crazy! And Monika Deol. Crazy!!!

This video captures 13 year-old Dan-e-o’s first-ever live television performance. It is also the oldest known footage of the veteran Toronto MC. Filmed on May 4, 1991, CityTV’s “Electric Circus” set the stage to launch Dan-e-o’s career as he and Lindo P won the show’s LL Cool J Rap-Off Contest as the duo, Partners In Rhyme.

Dan-e-o would go on to record a version of this song to start off his debut album, “The Book of Daniel” in 2000 (http://dan-e-o.bandcamp.com/track/pro…). Lindo P would rejoin Dan-e-o on his second album, “See No Evil, Hear No Evil” in 2004 for the track, “Amazing” (http://dan-e-o.bandcamp.com/track/ama…).

Buy Dan-e-o’s new album “Inevitable”!

Rochester puts a pretty unique spin on the artist/music/visual/viral thing with “Rock Bottom”.

And I ain’t even gonna preface it with anything else beyond what I just said.. I ‘ll let you take it in and process it yourself.

Catch parts 2-4 after the jump!
