Arctic Monkeys to explore Hip Hop?

Arctic Monkeys may be getting further and further away from the hard-edged sound that made them so likable.

In an article in the Daily Mirror (“P. Diddy wants to turn the Arctic MonKeys into hip-hip artists”), drummer Matt Helders (above) — already a “good mate” with P. Diddy — remarked that doing a track together with the rap mogul would be considered.

“… it would be fun. … We speak to him at least three times a week. We are going to Miami in a few weeks and are going to be hanging out with him. He’s going to be teaching us the hip-hop ways.”
