Lushlife - "Dead Presidents"

Thus far in 2009 there have been a number of hip-hop releases worth mentioning but there is one that will go under the radar of far too many: Lushlife's Cassette City. This geeky looking Philly hipster has crafted easily one of the year's better hip-hop albums. This here is just a little example of the talent this cat possess as he plays Jay-Z's awesome track "Dead Presidents" from his debut (with the infamous Nas sample) on the piano and sing. Although the syncing is off there is no doubt that this dork knows how to play the piano (one of many of the instruments he can handle). And check out Cassette City it is a great album that deserves all the attention it can get.
