Looking for some late-night grooves? Look no farther than vocalist/violinist/looping specialist Sudan Archives‘ 2016 video. The Ohio-native 22-year-old takes Kendrick Lamar‘s hit track “King Kunta”, from his Grammy-nominated 2015 album To Pimp A Butterfly, and makes it her own, breaking down the beat and singing the lyrics in her sultry tone as “Queen Kunta”. She even throws in some familiar classical melodies, for those paying attention. Check out the video below:
Sudan Archives is currently working on her debut album for Stone’s Throw Records.
