Dr. Seuss’ ‘I Can Read With My Eyes Shut’ as Hip Hop

Drummer Drew Caballero, who performs as Drew on the Kit, accompanied bassist Bret Crowe and vocalist Jordan Simons who rapped the classic Dr. Seuss book I Can Read With My Eyes Shut. According to Caballero, this is the way the book should be read.

DR. Seuss Hip Hop NEEDS to be a thing 1 and thing 2. This was so much fun to make.

Here’s Simons’ original version.
