BROCKHAMPTON's cover of Kool & The Gang's "Hollywood Swinging" for the Minions: The Rise of Gru soundtrack has been unveiled.

Following the release of St. Vincent's cover of Lipps Inc's "Funkytown", Kali Uchis' verssion of Stan Getz and Joao Gilberto's "Desafinado", and Diana Ross and Tame Impala's original track "Turn Up The Sunshine", BROCKHAMPTON's cover of Kool & The Gang's "Hollywood Swinging" for the Minions: The Rise of Gru film soundtrack has landed.

Kevin Abstract wrote of the track on Twitter last month, "fyi - we did the song for the minions soundtrack like two years ago and it’s finally getting released."
