HERITAGE: Jacob Banks Brings New Life To This Cover With His Powerful, Soulful Voice (2013)


November 27, 2019

Back in 2013, with only an EP to his name, Jacob Banks was invited on to 1Xtra's Live Lounge to perform somer covers. That alone was testament to the quality of those eight tracks, but the performance itself was truly something else.

Taking on Rihanna's "Stay" and Kendrick Lamar's "Don't Kill My Vibe", Jacob begins with an arrestingly soulful rendition of "Stay" before feeding in the opening lines from Kendrick's good kid, m.A.A.d city classic.

An inspired session that doesn't just breathe new life into an old song, but instead creates something entirely new.
