Run This Town- Rihanna feat. Jay-Z & ES Posthumus

I love sharing cool new music that I find. Everyone’s heard the original “Run This Town” by Rihanna featuring Jay-Z, which is a good song by itself. A much smaller percentage of people have heard of ES Posthumus, “an independent music group that produces cinematic style music. It is a form of epic classical that fuses intertwined drum beats with orchestral and electronic sounds.” The part I like best about their YouTube description is that they assert that “music is the harmonization of opposites; the conciliation of warring elements.” And believe me, that itself is pretty cool.

But what happens when you put these two genres and styles of music together? I’ll tell you what you get: pure genius.
