Kendrick Lamar jumps on new version of Emeli Sandé’s drivetime smash ‘Next To Me’

The BRITs’ Best Female meets the FACT Alternative BRITs’ Best International Male. 

Sandé’s Our Version Of Events was the best-selling album of 2012, with only The Beatles spending as many consecutive weeks in the Top 10 with a debut album. A new version of single ‘Next To Me’ has now been set to wax, notable for a verse from Compton’s Kendrick Lamar. Lamar pulls out his gruff thug persona, as heard on ‘m.A.A.d City’ or his spot on A$AP Rocky’s ‘1Train’, and adds some extra verve to Sandé’s FM Radio staple in the process. [via Pigeons And Planes]
