Pop star Justin Bieber continues to delve into the world of hip-hop with a new cover of Drake’s Trust Issues, reports MTV.
Bieber announced the new track via Twitter during the lead up to the MTV Video Music Awards Sunday night (August 28): "i remixed drakes trust issues," he wrote, including a link to YouTube.
Thanks to auto-tune, the teen’s voice has been pitched to match the deeper timbre of fellow Canadian Drake, making his cover almost an exact copy of the original – save one important exception: to keep things PG-13 for his younger fans, Bieber has swapped out the f-bombs and other colorful language for more benign terms.
Although the singer has been trying his hand at rap under the pseudonym Shawty Mane, this time around, Bieber sticks to singing, leaving Drake’s rap intact.
Earlier this month, Bieber teamed up with frequent collaborator Chris Brown to rap on Brown’s new mixtape, Boy in Detention, spitting some verses for the track Ladies Love Me.
