As a lover of all things trap and an appreciator of classical music I was overjoyed when I stumbled across this video of Migos performing hit song “Hannah Montana” live with an orchestra.
The Atlanta group first released the song in 2013 on their Young Rich N*ggas mixtape and I remember it being an instant hit at college parties. The song lacks substance, as they are rapping about selling crack, cocaine, and molly but makes up for it in the super trapped-out beat.
This video of their symphonic live performance of the song is so fun. The orchestra did a superb job of recreating the original track. It’s like watching all things classy and ratchet come together in perfect harmony.
Check out the video and love it just like I did.
