Default Lana Del Rey - "Doin Time" (Sublime Cover)
My two favourites, combined. WOW!

This is for a documentary coming soon about Sublime, not her upcoming album but it's amazing.

Lana Del Rey’s affinity for California is so firmly baked into her music that “Doin’ Time,” her cover of Sublime’s 1996 song for the upcoming documentary about the ska-punk band, seems like it could have appeared on her debut. Adapting Bradley Nowell’s expressive rapping into her own blasé drawl, the track glides on roiling trip-hop percussion similar to the bossa nova version of Gershwin’s “Summertime” sampled in Sublime’s original. But “Doin’ Time” remains decidedly within Del Rey’s wheelhouse, repping Sublime’s hometown of Long Beach with a newly dreamy slant.
