Have you ever wanted to know how Katy Perry would sound as a man? Well, Himanshu Suri, or Heems for short, from Das Racist can give you that experience. Slowing the single "Teenage Dream" to a crawl gives Ms. Perry the reverse-chipmunk effect and the percussion a smooth and sexy tempo. Heems rests his lazy rap over an equally baritone, if not more eery, version of his own voice as he spits about adolescent love.
Most remixes you find nowadays are sped up or glammed-out with extra loops and layers and beats, so it's a pleasant and mentally stimulating experience to hear a pop song ground down and scrubbed of most of its glittering elements. Hear Heems' remix above and snag for keeps below.
