Ham4Bey is the Hamilton Beyonce mashup of your dreams. Created By Michael Korte & arranged By Jared Jenkins, it’s 7 minutes of pure joy, mixing up songs from the blockbuster musical Hamilton and songs from Queen Bey. We’re surprised it’s taken this long for someone to do this, to be honest. Via Refinery29:
No need to fight over whether Lemonade or Hamilton will rule your playlist as you gorge on leftovers this weekend. Los Angeles-based artist Michael Korte has given us all the best holiday gift in the form of a #HAM4BEY mashup performance.
The nearly seven-minute-long YouTube video draws from the Hamilton cast album and Queen Bey’s back catalog, featuring everything from Destiny’s Child to Lemonade. The video, which was posted on November 21, has already racked up more than 188,000 views.
The impossibly catchy piece was arranged by Jared Jenkins and features talented vocal performers India Carney, Vincint, Mariah Maxwell, Jej Millanes, Kelly Margareth Lee, and Jamond McCoy.
The homage to our founding father without a father and Sasha Fierce combines music and lyrics seamlessly, including a particularly inspired cross between “Hold Up,” “Irreplaceable,” and “You’ll Be Back” (around the 2:24 mark). Other highlights include combinations of “Helpless” and “Crazy in Love,” as well as “Guns and Ship” and “Formation.”
