New Music: Yungun & Colonel Red - 'Holla' (Remix)

A few months back, a soulful haze descended over the AGOMWAB Mansion courtesy of the sweet, sweet strains of 'Holla' - a rather spiffing tip of the cap slash reinterpretation of Marvin Gaye's legendary 'Inner City Blues (Makes Me Wanna Holler)' by modern day UK soul man Colonel Red.

Now, fellow British bad man Yungun has decided to jump on 'Holla' to drop a verse or two, in a joining of forces between the worlds of UK hip hop and soul. The result is the 'Holla' remix. And it's pretty damn slick, as you can imagine.

Here's Yungun's take on things: "[Holla is] a homage to one of the greatest of all soul records. It takes guts, talent and flair to take on such an iconic track. I think you'll agree that Colonel Red pulls it off in fine style.

"I heard his version and just had to...well...'holla'...(sorry, couldn't resist!). He kindly agreed to let me add a little hollering of my own and we decided to send it out there to see how people react."
