Why do we like this?
Solange's A Seat At The Table is one of the best albums of 2016, and single "Cranes In The Sky" is one of the year's best tracks.
Its soothing string-driven production from Raphael Saadiq makes it the perfect remix fodder, with a number of rappers (Common, Styles P) having already given it a crack.
The latest attempt comes from MGM head honcho Rick Ross, who laces "Cranes In The Sky" with a verse dedicated to his wealth and sexual prowess.
While Ross' lyrics have nothing in common with Solange's lyrical themes of battling with depression, his boastful baritone is made for these types of productions, making it an interesting listen.
