Sir Elton John is no stranger to the hip-hop game. Most famously, Elton performed onstage with Eminem for an emotional rendition of "Stan," thus complicating the media-based narrative painting Slim as homophobic. He also held it down on the keys for Timbaland's Shock Value closer, the smooth and slept on piano driven "2 Man Show." As with most legends, Elton John is respected across the board, and plenty of artists would be more than willing to sing his praises. Case in point, the up-and-coming Revamp & Restoration, which feature several prominent artists performing covers of Elton's most notable tracks.
While plenty of notable talents have stepped up to the plate, including Coldplay, Ed Sheeran, Florence & The Machine, and Queens Of The Stone Age, hip-hop does not go unrepresented. Logic and Q-Tip will be holding it down on that front. In fact, Logic recently shared a call her received from Sir John, using it as an outro to his Bobby Tarantino 2 track "Yuck." In fact, Q-Tip and Demi Lovato's collaboration was released earlier today. Catch it here.
The double album is set to drop on April 6th. Check out the tracklist below.
