Watch composer's orchestral compilation of your favourite hip-hop tunes

You might have heard saxophonists and guitarists cover popular urban music but have you ever seen or heard a whole orchestra do this? Now’s your chance.

Polish composer and producer JIMEK orchestrated “hip-hop history” earlier this year when he conducted the Polish National Radio Symphony Orchestra. The instrumental ensemble played 30 hip-hop classics including Sisqo’s ‘Thong Song’, Wiz Khalifa’s ‘Black and Yellow’, 50 Cent’s ‘In Da Club’, Missy Elliot’s ‘Get Your Freak On’ and Beyoncé’s ‘Crazy In Love'.

The maestro whose real name is Radzimir Debski, won Beyoncé’s ‘End of Time’ remix competition in 2012.
