If you missed this great remix from Cook Classics when I first posted it up, you’re getting a chance to atone for your mistake. Thanks to GregTheDude, we now have some dope visuals to go with the mix so peep ’em and grab the mp3 right here:
John Legend ft. Andre 3000 – “Green Light (Cook Classics Remix)”
Remember the name Cook Classics. For real.
The homey Cook Classics is clearly one of the dopest up and coming producers in the game and here’s his latest production: a remix to John & Andre’s insta-classic, “Green Light.” I had a chance to help make this remix happen and I couldn’t be prouder of the result. Shout to Joel van Dijk on the guitar and Joe Gonzales on the bass as well…everyone killed it.

If you’re sleeping, Cook came through Sound Session a few weeks back and you can peep the show here. We played some of the stuff he did with TiRon and Avriel Epps, which is all incredible. Be on the lookout for more of his beats on projects by Pacific Division, U-N-I, Diamond D, Noah King, Inverse, and more.
5-C’s like what.
Hahaha, I’m not even mad at this. Rock City redid John Legend’s song of the year contender, “Green Light,” with a nice little twist. Reminds me of Chappelle’s real life Pretty Woman: “…youuuu need to get the f*ck out.”

That picture never gets old. Here’s a brand new reggae-tinged remix of John & Andre’s smash “Green Light,” put together by the British Afroganic crew. Definitely a different vibe than the original, but pretty damn ill. Check it out:

John’s been slowly starting to unleash music from Evolver, first “Good Morning” at the end of the “Green Light” video, and now a live performance of “If You’re Out There” at the Democratic National Convention that kicked off today in Denver. When I spoke to John last month for Sound Session, he talked extensively about this song and the reasons why he wrote it. If you missed that interview, you can peep it here.
Between John’s performance, Edward Kennedy’s inspirational appearance, and Michelle Obama’s excellent speech, the Convention is off to a great start. Kanye, N.E.R.D., and Wyclef are supposed to be doing something out there this week, so hopefully video of those performances will hit the net too.
gObama.
Finally! Here’s the oft-talked about video for one of the best songs of the year, John Legend’s “Green Light” with Andre 3000. I’m hard pressed to think of a better guest verse on a R&B song than what Dre drops here. Ridiculous. Also, you get a quick preview of another track off Evolver, “Good Morning,” right at the end. Dope ish.
If for some reason you still need this song, grab the high quality wav here and cop Evolver when it drops!

Another dope episode of SNSS in the books for y’all to check out. Excellent tracks from artists like Nas, Crooked I, Bishop Lamont, N.E.R.D., and more. Plus, newcomers Theo, Danny!, and Ayomari made their Sound Session debuts, and you know we’re the only show on a Clear Channel station with the audacity to play Killer Mike’s “Pressure.” We also had local artists The Parker Brothaz and Steelo live in the studio, along with my Foundation Crossfit people. Oh, and did I mention John Legend called in for an exclusive interview? Big tings a gwan.
