Back in 2011, when they'd only released a couple of songs, Purity Ring's Corin Roddick told Pitchfork that he "can't get enough" of Soulja Boy's album The DeAndre Way. Now, the Canadian electro-pop duo have cemented that adoration in a timely fashion, releasing a cover of Soulja Boy's song "Grammy", which originally featured pop song-writing titan Ester Dean. Stream and download the cover, above.
