Lalah Hathaway, Snoop Dogg, Robert Glasper & Terrace Martin Join Forces On Powerful "Ghetto Boy" Update

At the tail-end of 2015, the incomparable Lalah Hathaway released her Live album to critical and public praise. The performance begins with a stunning take of her father's (the Donny Hathaway) 1971 single "Little Ghetto Boy," which, oddly enough, was featured on his own live album.

Today, the young Hathaway has delivered a powerful reinterpretation of that song with an all-star cast in tow. For the latest cut of this classic, Hathaway recruits Robert Glasper to lay down a mid-song trill or two, Snoop Dogg for one of his best verses since their last meeting on To Pimp A Butterfly and, speaking of the 2015 smash, Terrace Martin, who blesses the track with some edge-smoothing key work and production. The track was released with a clip of Hathaway and the track's many talents (plus the mighty Kamasi Washington!)

Watch the video for Lalah Hathaway's new take on "Little Ghetto Boy" below and take the single home with you after a quick trip to iTunes. Scroll down to peep her forthcoming tour dates.
