Ovtlier have released a new cover of Cypress Hill’s “(Rock) Superstar.” A video for the track, which features Hyro The Hero and Cypress Hill’s own Sen Dog, can be found below:

Ovtlier vocalist Joey Arena commented:

“‘Superstar‘ was more influential to me than I had realized in my youth. Growing up, there wasn’t a Rap, Rock or Pop station that wasn’t playing this song… we would blast this track like it was the only song that had existed for months.”

“I never believed a band should have one specific sound. I always heard from so many industry reps that I needed to find my ‘identity’ when my identity was doing whatever the fuck I wanted. An artist is meant to grow, push boundaries and experiment… ‘Superstar‘ was just that for me — a staple in the fusion of the genres it portrays.”

“I wanted to cover this song not only cause it’s nostalgic, but because of the genre blending it represents. I have incorporated some ‘white boy rap’ in previous tracks, but this got to showcase a whole different side and my love for Hip Hop.”

“What could bring a more authentic stamp of approval than getting the iconic Sen Dog of Cypress Hill on the track? It was such an honor to have him not only feature on the track but get him to appear in the video. He stuck it out all day with us… Such an awesome and down to earth individual that deserves all the recognition.”
