Besame Mucho - Hasan & Danny Aiello craft a hit hip-hop remake of a true classic Latin standard!

Earlier this month, at an exclusive video premiere during the Hoboken International Film Festival, I viewed Hasan & Danny Aiello's rap remake of Consuelo Velázquez's classic Latin torch song standard Besame Mucho.

In the vid, Danny Aiello at times looks slicker and more dangerous, as a crooning lounge lizard, than Al Pacino seemed in The Devil's Advocate. Let's just say I'd rather not run into his character, some night, on a dimly lit Brooklyn street...

For those of us who have worked in Lower Manhattan's Flatiron (Photo) District and DUMBO, the location shots, on cobblestone streets, hit a special chord.

I was skeptical, I mean, c'mon, this song is OLDER than a SugarHill Gang stepshow! ..and I've never been a real big fan of Latin ballads... ..BUT... ..I gotta admit...

..I LOVE THIS REMAKE!!

Mad Props to my bro Hasan and to Danny as well!!!












BTW: Watch for Hasan's producer's skillz coming to the task, via C.R.E., on JLo's new album.
