What's cooler than being cool? Tasman Keith running it up on a stone-cold Outkast classic in the Like A Version studio.
From Atlanta to the streets of Eora, the Gumbaynggirr man brought his own powerful spin on the alternative hip-hop duo's iconic 2000 hit, 'B.O.B. (Bombs Over Baghdad)'.
"I grew up loving this song and it was always in the list for when I would do Like A Version," he said.
"For me, just with a lot going on right now here and everywhere, it just felt like what I needed and what I wanted to say in the moment. And also to be able to pen a verse after an Andre 3000 verse is a challenge, and I wanted to take that on."
After starting with Andre's flow, Tasman took it in his own direction where he spat venom on things that were more intimate and personal to him.
"Speak on, you know, freedom of my people, freedom of all people," he said.
"Really putting us at the forefront. The favourite line of the band was the 'Weetbix and powdered milk' bar, when I brought that to rehearsal it was like 'yeah, that's the one'."
