IN THE BLUE CORNER! … international soul heavyweight … future music pioneer … the legendary … Colonel Red! *
IN THE RED CORNER! … he flows like a lullaby … spits like a cobra … the one and only… Yungun (yup, that's me … !)
This is my official remix of a track called "Holla" that Colonel Red recently leaked via his bandcamp page (
www.colonelred.bandcamp.com). It's a homage to one of the greatest of all soul records. It takes guts, talent and flair to take on such an iconic track. I think you'll agree that Colonel Red pulls it off in fine style. I heard his version and just had to ... well ... "holla" ... (sorry, couldn't resist!). He kindly agreed to let me add a little hollering of my own and we decided to send it out there to see how people react.
We hope you enjoy! Please get in touch to let us know what you think.
