D.R.A.M. Re-Releases ‘Cha Cha’ With New Instrumental

D.R.A.M.
 
Rising rapper D.R.A.M. has re-released his party anthem “Cha Cha” with a new instrumental.
 
The original version, which has received over two million YouTube views, features a prominent sample from Nintendo’s Super Mario World.
 
Neither D.R.A.M. or Nintendo have confirmed anything, but it’s presumed that the rapper replaced the beat to avoid legal action from the gaming giant.
 
“Cha Cha” was originally released last September and became an underground favorite, thanks to a co-sign from DJ Jazzy Jeff and others. However, it wasn’t until May when Beyonce posted a video of her dancing to the track that it hit the mainstream. Within a week, “Cha Cha” became the most-added song on urban radio.
 
Despite losing the recognizable Nintendo sample and with it, a bit of energy, “Cha Cha” could still become one of the summer’s biggest songs.
 
Watch the music video below and grab the new version on DJcity.
