His cover of The Verve's 1997 track "The Drugs Don't Work" was unveiled yesterday (28 April) as part of a session for BBC Radio 1, and follows slowthai's February cover of Elliott Smith's "Needle In The Hay".
His version of "The Drugs Don't Work" saw slowthai perform the song with a live band, featuring Black Country, New Road's Lewis Evans on saxophone and flute, and Jockstrap's Taylor Skye on synth.
In February slowthai released his second album TYRON.
