Bost & Bim – Jamaican Boy (BBO)

Released: 14/08/2008

Another huge cover from french riddim makers, dj’s and producers Matthieu Bost & Jérémie “BIM” Dessus aka The Bombist! Together with Californian singer Brisa Roché and Dj Lone Ranger they have made a Jamaican take on Estelle and Kanye West’s “American Boy“.

I loved the original as well, a fresh breath of soulful and happy hiphop. However, this adds the Jamaican feel and that pleasant surprise element that makes it go down well on the dancefloor. Apparently this time they are proud to present their first “official” release. This one is pressed in limited numbers, so get your copy asap. The song also appeared on Nova Tunes 1.8. Listen here!
