The Hood Internet, who has been picking up steam steadily for a while now with their seminary mash-ups of prominent hip-hop acapellas over popular indie rock samples. Their latest work includes the inescapable Vampire Weekend, of course; mashing up the group’s latest single “Giving Up The Gun” (which comes with a star-studded music video) with M.I.A.‘s Arular classic “Sunshowers”.

I’ve seen HOOD twice and both times I had a great fucking time.

If you like what you hear, they give away all their mixtapes for free at http://www.thehoodinternet.com

Can’t wait to see them at Summercamp this year!

Not exactly my favorite.
But what I did find quite lovely were these major jams: the Iyaz vs. Big Pink and Luda vs. Joker. Total hotness.
