Painful memories and emotion from dealing with the trials of love are the root of this 2013 cover of a classic Foreigner tune by guitarist Sergio Cortes Herrera. "Cold As Ice" showcases the skill of Sergio who lends powerful emotion toward an authentic arrangement of the song against the original 1977 vocal performance of Lou Gramm. This song is most well known for it's use in Hip Hop by Brownsville duo M.O.P., who are responsible for a new appreciation of Rock within urban street culture.

This cover features a heightened degree of presence on the guitar which gives the sense that Sergio is pouring out his emotion based upon the influence and raw emotion of this tune. The performance and arrangement is killer throughout, including a wicked guitar solo to lead the song's conclusion which is not heard in the original version by Foreigner.

Whether you appreciate the sound of "Cold As Ice" from a Rock performance or M.O.P'.s Hip Hop perspective, both homages are a cool to witness as one generation of music and culture pays respect to the former.


Still "the hardest muthafuckas Hip Hop ever came across", Billy Danze & Fame join forces with P-Money for "The Hardest". With drums that knock underneath a soulful sample selection, this trio are cold as ice and demonstrate the meaning of "hood rich" on a banger taken from the forthcoming P-Money album 'Gratitude'. Available as a free download.
