SONE Picture/Video of the Week

The Boys remix contest is in full swing, and we showed some really good ones last week. This week, another one was released by Areia . Normally I can’t really stand dubstep, but this version of The Boys has some vicious beats and a unique instrumental. They weave the verses together and completely change up the song instead of just redoing the instrumental like some other covers are doing. It seems like this cover is one of the front runners in the contest. What do you guys think of it?
