As he's publicly exhibited multiple times, Philadelphia's stage-ready mayor Michael Nutter is certainly no stranger to sudden Sugar Hill Gang covers. In fact, Nutter credits his sly DJ beginnings as his eventual entryway into politics. Speaking to Jump Philly in 2011, Nutter detailed his affiliation with the Impulse club and its impact on his own political networking:
Nutter recently revisited his slightly musical past, with accompaniment from The Roots, during Philadelphia's 4th of July Jam on Saturday. Performing The Sugar Hill Gang's iconic 1979 single "Rapper's Delight" with relative ease, Nutter gave the track some distinctly Philadelphian grace.

Watch Zedd Perform "Clarity" With The Roots
In the wee hours, we were amazed by the clip of Zedd performing his remix of the Legend of Zelda theme, but now we have the full performance from Late Night With Jimmy Fallon, featuring Zedd playing a live rendition of "Clarity" with Foxes and The Roots. We won't front, we think the Letterman live version was a better performance overall, but this one is a bit more special. Zedd and ?uestlove jamming on live TV? Awesome!
