KORN Frontman Talks 'Got Money' Cover

October 8, 2008

KORN frontman Jonathan Davis recently spoke to BallerStatus.com about his cover of LIL WAYNE's single "Got Money", which was leaked to the Internet to lots of positive feedback.

"I got into Wayne during the Cash Money days, in the beginning," Davis explained to BallerStatus.com. "I remember we went up against him when we put a KORN record out, and I just wanted to know what all that was about. So, I really got into all that New Orleans dirty south style music, and I've been a fan ever since. This latest album is amazing, so he deserves everything he gets from this 'Carter III' album. I think it's amazing. I love it."

According to Davis, his version of "Got Money", featuring T-Pain, was the result of a studio session for his upcoming solo album. He and his crew were listening to the original from LIL WAYNE, and he loved the track so much, he figured he'd try to create his own version, just for fun. When it was finished, everyone in the studio loved it, so he leaked it.

"I heard the song, and me and my manager were listening to it and he said 'I think you could sing that.' I said 'You think so?' He said 'Yea,' so I said 'alright,'" Davis explained. "I basically went in and gave it try to see what would happen if I did it in a different style, make it my own. It came out banging."

Davis says he plans to write more songs for his first solo album before recording later this fall. He hopes to have the disc out by early 2009.

The singer plans to tour behind his own record for "six months to a year" before reconvening with KORN sometime in 2009.
