Equipped with a mad cool fashion sense and fierce urban pop-meister skills, Brooklyn rapper and singer Theophilus London is deftly bridging a gap between hip-hop and electro and, well, everything else. Just last week, London released this awesome cover of Nat King Cole's "Calypso Blues," featuring the Menahan Street Band. This block party jam will help to ride out the last of the summer's heat.
