Hip-hop and auto tune master T-Pain released his new version of Black Sabbath’s “War Pigs” as part of his covers album On Top of the Covers on Friday (March 17).
T-Pain promised the album wouldn’t be what listeners might expect, and he is right. Who woulda guessed this hip-hop star would create a soulful rendition of Black Sabbath’s “War Pigs.”
T-Pain undoubtedly has the vocal ability to carry the classic Sabbath number, just check out the cover at the bottom of the page.
“This covers album has been years in the making,” T-Pain says. “I started recording this right after I won The Masked Singer. It got put on hold for a bit but now that I’m independent, I’m able to do whatever I want.”
He adds, “These songs are not what you’d expect when you hear that T-Pain is doing a covers album and that is what I think is cool about it.”
