R&B/Soul: Algebra – ‘I Ain’t No Joke’ (Rakim Cover)
It’s not often an R&B/Soul artist can do a cover of a classic hip hop record although hip hop artists have sampled or interpolated R&B for years. Atlanta’s Algebra Blessett does a very good job with Rakim’s classic. She didn’t leave out the soul in her remake…..maybe she needs to redo Eric B & Rakim’s ‘I Know You Got Soul’ as well because she damn sure does. Yesterday Algebra taped an episode of the Monique Show with soul artist Anthony David with whom she recorded a quality song called ‘4evermore’ which was produced by the homie DJ Kemit.
