In case you didn't know ukuleles are pretty hot right now. Late last year Eddie Vedder dropped an album of ukulele songs, but nobody can touch the skills of Hawaiian ukulele master Jake Shimabukuro.

He didn't know any Chief Keef, so we settled for this Nirvana classic. And now, word from the #UkuleleBasedGod
