Every Friday morning, acts from around the world go into the Triple J studio to perform an original track and a mystery cover for 'Like A Version'. This week it was Horrorshow.

Horrorshow are an Aussie hip-hop duo from Inner West Sydney. Solo (vocals) and Adit (producer) went into Triple J radio yesterday morning and pulled off an absolutely stunning cover of ATCQ and Lou Reed with a little audience participation from Tom and Alex (presenters from the show). 

Adding a new feel to two classic tracks with such style and flair isn't always the easiest thing to do but Horrorshow have pulled it off. Listen here.

R.I.P. Lou Reed (1942-2013)

Chet Faker - Lover (Sonia Dada Like A Version)

From Citizen Kay's debut full length album, 'With The People'
Lyrics:
Verse 1:
Uh, picture this, little kid, dark skin toned
Among some light skins homies all day long
So unaware of what his people been through
So confused to a point where he would even be blue
Red, yellow, anything but black, how bout that
Stripped back of any pride for no reason in particular
Would give anything to be light skinned, so insecure
Would pay it with his soul if possibly that was simpler
So detached from his roots, 
Being stereotyped was getting old, but couldn't see it in his looks
Uh, one flick to the dick wont bruise,
Times that by a thousand and maybe you'd feel it too, ooo
But luckily this child developed within
A thick skin surfaced and suddenly he was winning
Beginning to understand how to react
Keep cool, and this cruel world, it can't pull you back, no!

Pre-Chorus:
I've heard a whole lotta things throughout my life
Things to pull me down, instead have made me fight
My homies wanna know how I don't start flexing
I tell 'em it aint a secret, in fact, its one lesson, said

Hook:
What you do, when life gives you lemons?
You just cut them fuckas up in 20 seconds, don't sweat it (x4)

Verse 2:
I been called an animal, coulda caused collateral
Damage but i handle it, better than most rambling
Been looked at worse than a hood rat
Grannies locked eyes with me but I aint never look back
Like this individual probably a born criminal
Actions are so predictable, attitude so despicable
Check him for that medicinal, crack probably is visible
Blacks should be invisible, lack what is formidable
I just straight fall into that stereotype
Black rapper cooking chicken, aw, that must be right
I can see it in their eyes like "You still here?
Thought you was making money now?" See 'em spill tears
Only of laughter, whisper to me only my disasters
Even close loves don't believe I'm the answer,
its like "Maybe you should have a back up
Industry's kinda tough and it only gets tougher"
But you really don't get it, see I'm on mission
Your words I hear em but I really don't listen
Aw, na I aint worried, no I don't trip one bit
To you my path seem dark but to me its lit

Pre-Chorus:
I've heard a whole lotta things throughout my life
Things to pull me down, instead have made me fight
My homies wanna know how i don't start flexin
I tell 'em it aint a secret, in fact, its one lesson, said

Hook:
What you do, when life gives you lemons?
You just cut them fuckas up in 20 seconds, don't sweat it, na
What you do, when life gives you lemons?
You just cut them fuckas up in 20 seconds, don't sweat it, SAX!

(Sax Solo)

Lyrics - Chance Waters
Production - One Above
Featuring - Lilian Blue
Artwork - Steven Ung

The internet told me this would be the end of days;
So I should say my last goodbyes and probably give all my shit away,
But as I watched the fireworks' explode in purple flames,
I breathed in the morning of another year of everyday's;

I heard a preacher man claiming that the raptures coming;
He blamed it on the gays and democrats and probably someone else -
I didn't really pay it mind, I've learned from life that;
I would fall for anything if I refuse to stand for something

New age hippies claim this is a crystal age;
And we'll all resonate away, evolve onto a higher plane -
I think they might have missed a couple of bits on evolution -
But that's alright at least we both agree that there's a future - 

But I'll admit I kind of see some things the same; 
When I close my eyes, and look away -
And bury my head in the sand and wait -
- For better days - they're on their way -

Maybe tomorrow, when the sun comes out and melts my flesh away,
Maybe tomorrow, when the toxic clouds just take our breath away
And it'll be alright when the dark sets in and the screams all fade away,
Maybe tomorrow; there'll be no one to save

I've got a bit of a penchant, for Mr. Nostradamus -
I'd rather read the stars than read a fucking vampire drama,
And reincarnation - don't even get me started,
Hell in another life I might have been the Dalai Lama,

But I don't trust computers, like I don't trust their users -
They're gonna take control, we've all seen the movies -
But I can't see how that'd change a thing for you and me,
Cause half of the kids that I know, uh, already worship Google,

The other half will spend their final days on Facebook,
Making events about the end that no one came to,
But you can catch me on my soapbox, 
Telling them that it won't stop, until we flick the switch and turn this globe off,

It makes it easier I've found,
To shout the sky is falling down,
Until there's nothing left to say
And close my eyes, and drift away -

Maybe tomorrow, when the sun comes out and melts my flesh away,
Maybe tomorrow, when the toxic clouds just take our breath away
And it'll be alright when the dark sets in and the screams all fade away,
Maybe tomorrow there'll be no one to save;

Don't you know, there's not too long to go;
I've met a man who knows - he said the world will end on, (someday, someday)
Don't you know, there's not too long to go;
I've met a girl who knows - she said the world will end on, (someday, someday)

Maybe tomorrow, when the sun comes out and melts my flesh away,
Maybe tomorrow, when the toxic clouds just take our breath away
And it'll be alright when the dark sets in and the screams all fade away,
Maybe tomorrow there'll be no one to save;

Chance Waters - Maybe Tomorrow ft. Lilian Blue

Sydney based hip hop duo Mind Over Matter have released their explosive first single “Real Life” from their third and highly anticipated upcoming album “This Way to Elsewhere”.

Mixed by Grammy Award winning engineer Craig Bauer (Kanye West, Lupe Fiasco) the song signals a new direction for the group, drawing from indie-pop with rustic Motown influences.

The catchy guitar riffs and honeyed vocals are a testament to Mind Over Matter’s thrilling versatility and faultless ability to move between genres and may be way Triple J immediately added it to high rotation.
Written in Salamander Bay and finalised in Chicago, the project was a collaborative process from day one, calling on the talents of renowned hit-maker Matik (Seth Sentry, Drapht, Pez) and singer/songwriter Jon Reichhardt as well as an exciting new voice in female vocalist K.I.K.I.
Mind Over Matter will tour the single nationally next month with fellow I Forget, Sorry! member and double Hottest 100 debutante Chance Waters on his Infinity Album Tour."
