The 1984 Prince hit 'When Doves Cry' gets an update from the All-Amerikkkan bada$$.

Joey Bada$$ joined us for what was the biggest Like A Version set up ever. “I’m honoured,” said Joey. “I don’t know what to say – [all this] for little old me?”

His clue didn’t leave much room for error in guessing: “Clue? Let’s just say I’m going to be covering something from the great Mr. Purple Rain.” All signs were pointing to Prince and sure enough, Joey and the other ten assembled musicians were here to paint the studio purple.

On why he chose the song Joey said: “To this day my mum is the biggest Prince fan, she always played Prince around the house, put me on to Prince at such an early age. Me and her we used to always sing ‘When Doves Cry’ together, so I made my own version. It’s called ‘When Thugs Cry’.”
