Ryan Adams
The alt-country king tries his hand at rapping
Ryan Adams has gone in a surprising new musical direction - by trying his hand at rap.
The alt-country star has streamed a new track ’Look Who’s Got A Website’ on Ryan-Adams.com which features him rapping.
Sounding like a cross between Beck and Beastie Boys, Adams gives shout outs to New York, Kevin Costner and witches.
In the track, raps about artists who attempt to replicate his sound:
“I could destroy galaxies of alternative country wannabees/With a bottle of whiskey.”
He also raps about the critical maulings and low sales of his recent albums have got:
“Two and a half star... My record went bulsar wood... bascially he’s alternative country but crappy.”
Meanwhile Adams is set to play London[B]’s [B]Shepherds Bush Empire on Saturday (September 30) - however, it's unclear whether or not he will be busting out the rhymes.
