Lupe Fisaco’s hit song “Superstar” cemented his status as just that, and the fact that the track has stood the test of time has only made us love him more. As with any classic song, however, we are always eager to hear a good remix that amplifies the layers and subtleties to be found within the track. Enter L.A.-based DJ and music producer extraordinaire TOKiMONSTA, who has reworked “Superstar” in her signature style, adding eerie electronic elements that enhance the song’s theme of holding tight to your values during changing times.
This remix comes by way of the “In-Ride Sessions” series, Kia’s new collaboration with Complex, wherein we’ve played matchmaker with different genre-defying artists, sending them to the lab to create something brand new from what at first might seem familiar. It appears that once again the results are off the charts.
