Cover Wars - Kenton Dunson Remixes John Legend's "Rolling In The Deep"

John Legend - Rolling In The Deep Feat. Kenton Dunson (Kenton Dunson Remix) by kentondunson
What is that saying: A copy of a copy is never as good as the original? In this case, it's more like a copy of a copy is something completely different from the original. I love that this sounds like an actual remix. To me adding a rap verse isn't a remix, it's just another version of the song. Dunson does a good job making this sound even more like it could be a track on a John Legend album.

Local Flavor: Kenton Dunson

Kenton Dunson - Creative Destruction from Richard Stine on Vimeo.
Kenton Dunson is a native DMV artist that gives me hope for hip hop music. Just like Carolyn Malachi, he has music in his blood; both of his parents had music backgrounds. His stuff reminds me of Kenna with less rock; a mixture of genres without sounding confused. Sometimes artist think just by adding elements of many genres it will come out as beautiful eclectic music, but it's not that simple; you have to know what you are doing. Dunson is one of those artist that knows what he is doing. Quitting his job to work on music full-time, he produced and wrote his first solo album The Kenton Dunson Progressions; out June 3. You can listen to and download his albumCreative Destruction on his site here, and above is a mini-documentary on the making of the album. If you like J.Cole, Drake, and/or Rockie Fresh, you will most likely like him. Stand out tracks on Creative Destructions: "Dope," "The Worst Beat Ever"
