Potholes Music Releases LAKIM’s ‘Reinterpretations’

Frank Ocean – “Novacane” (Lakim Remix)
Everyone and their mother has remixed Frank Ocean’s “Thinkin’ ‘Bout You“—we’re not complaining, just sayin’—so I’m just glad to see that someone’s gone another route in flipping the Odd Future crooner’s music. Lynchburg, Va.-based producer LAKIM has taken on Nostalgia, Ultra single…
