Notorious B.I.G.'s "Juicy" just got a gorgeous vintage jazz makeover.
The late hip-hop star's 1994 hit has been beautifully reworked by Postmodern Jukebox, with the sensational guest singer Maiya Sykes on vocals.
"Biggie's 'Juicy' was one of the most iconic rap songs of the '90s, and even made its way to the rural town in New Jersey where I grew up," Scott Bradlee, the group's creator, wrote on its website.
"Our version -- which features a vocalese improvised by Maiya on the spot -- takes the song to an NYC jazz club in the bebop era, while still retaining the upbeat optimism of the original," he added.
