LISTEN: Booka Brass Band with one of the funkin’ coolest covers of Drake ‘Hotline Bling’ you’re likely to hear

Eoghan Doherty

Drake 3Arena

It’s time to funk up your day…

Oversized jumper? Check.

Perfect facial hair which you’ve actually just drawn on with a marker? Check.

“Cool” dance moves which closely resemble your dad’s weird gyrations at a family wedding at 1.30 in the morning? Check.

Good, because if you have all those things then you’re ready to listen to one of the most funktastic covers of Drake’s ‘Hotline Bling’ you’re probably likely to hear.

It’s by Booka Brass Band and they’re bloody brilliant. The Irish ensemble have just released their much-anticipated debut album, Chilled Milk, and you should most definitely go check it out by clicking right here.

Also, while you’re at it, take the time to have a listen to some of their previous super songs here and here.

Right, we’re off to dance like a jumper-wearing, marker-faced dad who just don’t care.

Did Drake have a sousaphone? Did he funk.

Enjoy…
