5. Rihanna | You Da One

Here are a couple of tracks somewhat involving the legendary Marvin Gaye, that I have been digging for a while now. The first is a cover of “Sexual Healing” by british electro-pop group Hot Chip. It is a fantastic and unique cover. The second track is from the mash up album Brooklyn Soul, which features Marvin Gaye mashed up with tracks from Jay-z’s American Gangster. You can get the whole record here… for free.  Enjoy!
