Santogold and Diplo - “Guns of Brooklyn”

Continuing my recent trend of posting covers/reworkings, here’s two Philadelphia acts doing a Stateside version of The Clash’s “Guns of Brixton”.  Been meaning to post this for a while, but it seems particularly appropriate today after I watched Louis Theroux’s documentary on Philadelphia gun violence last night. (Good as it was, I’ve spent a brief bit of time in Philly, and I think it was as accurate as if you took one Camden drug den and called it “London”).

Fun fact: DJ Diplo used to date MIA.  Dunno if that’s common knowledge or not, but I only just found out.
