Tasman Keith covers Outkast 'B.O.B. (Bombs Over Baghdad)' for Like A Version
What's cooler than being cool? Tasman Keith running it up on a stone-cold Outkast classic in the Like A Version studio. From Atlanta to the streets of Eora, the Gumbaynggirr man brought his own powerful spin on the alternative hip-hop duo's iconic 2000 hit, 'B.O.B. (Bombs Over Baghdad)'. "I grew up loving this song and it was always in the list for when I would do Like A Version," he said. "For me, just with a lot going on right now here and everywhere, it just felt like what I needed and what I wanted to say in the moment. And also to be able to pen a verse after an Andre 3000 verse is a challenge, and I wanted to take that on." After starting with Andre's flow, Tasman took it in his own direction where he spat venom on things that were more intimate and personal to him. "Speak on, you know, freedom of my people, freedom of all people," he said. "Really putting us at the forefront. The favourite line of the band was the 'Weetbix and powdered milk' bar, when I brought that to rehearsal it was like 'yeah, that's the one'." Run it back and check out more from Tasman Keith's debut in the Like A Version stuido below. Behind Tasman Keith's cover of Outkast 'B.O.B.

Andre 3000 Wore A Piano To The Met Gala – And Somehow, It Makes Sense
Black America Web Featured Video CLOSE Source: Michael Buckner / Getty Only he could do this. Andre 3000 just made one of the most unforgettable Met Gala entrances of all time – and we are still gagging. The non-traditional artist and classic Atlanta rapper strapped a literal piano to his back like a satchel, bookbag, or regular accessory. But if you know anything about the legend, you know this isn't just about shock value. Andre 3000 is the type of icon who brings meaning everywhere. Styled by Law Roach, his entire look was a wearable metaphor: a nod to his new experimental EP 7 Piano Sketches , a visual riff on the album cover, and a perfect fit for this year's theme, Superfine: Tailoring Black Style . Clad in tailored navy Burberry coveralls, sturdy shoes, and his signature red hat, the Outkast member looked like a walking fusion of Black music history and high fashion rebellion. The mini Steinway piano strapped to his back (thankfully a lightweight foam replica) symbolized more than a music drop – it represented Black artistry, improvisation, and freedom. Historically, the Black Dandy movement has always centered on self-expression through tailoring, particularly in public spaces like jazz clubs, concerts, and churches. In other words, there were places where style was just as important as sound. Andre's look brings all of that full circle. Source: Jamie McCarthy / Getty As he walked the carpet, the artist dropped 7 Piano Sketches , a moody, instrumental EP he's been quietly crafting for years. 'These piano sketches are improvisations,' he explained to the press. 'I cannot name which notes, keys, or chords I'm playing. I simply like the sound.' That same creative freedom showed up in how he dressed: timeless, spontaneous, and rooted in reinvention. With a trash bag in one hand and a piano on his back, Andre 3000 didn't just show up to the Met Gala—he reminded us what true style and storytelling look like. Especially when your name is Andre, and you're free enough to play ( literally ) by your own rules.

Andre 3000 wore a piano to the Met Gala and dropped a matching album
Andre 3000 may have pulled off one of the most fashionable product reveals of all time. The Grammy-winning rapper and musician wore a piano on his back for Monday night's Met Gala and released his latest project, a collection of 'piano sketches.' He explained the new music in a post on Instagram. 'These piano sketches are improvisations,' the caption reads. 'To conjure them up, I spread my fingers out on the keys and randomly but with purpose move them around until I find something that feels good or interesting. If it feels really good I will try to repeat it.' He added: 'Some of my favorite piano music composers and players that inspire me are Thelonious Monk, McCoy Tyner, Philip Glass, Stephen Sondheim, Joni Mitchell and Vince Guaraldi.' 'These piano pieces weren't recorded with the intention of presenting them in any formal way to the public,' Andre 3000 wrote. 'They were personal, at home recordings. I would sometimes text them to my family and friends.' He also revealed that the most all of the new music was recorded with his iPhone, almost a decade before his 2023 alternative jazz instrumental album, 'New Blue Sun.' 'New Blue Sun' marked the debut studio album for the artist who is one half-of the famed rap duo Outkast. The album was nominated for multiple 2025 Grammys, including album of the year. Andre 3000 concluded his social media post by explaining that the original title for the piano album was 'The Best Worst Rap Album In History' before sharing an excerpt from the original liner notes. 'It's jokingly the worst rap album in history because there are no lyrics on it at all,' the excerpt reads. 'It's the best because it's the free-est emotionally and best I've felt personally. It's the best because it's like a palette cleanser for me.' Outkast is scheduled to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in the fall.
