Last week Adele released her new, long-awaited track, “Hello,” and the Internet went bananas. Now, Rick Ross has shared a remix of the track as part of his Renzel Remixes series as he promotes his upcoming studio album Black Market, due out in December. Ross leaves the song largely unchanged until around 1:50, when he inserts his own somber verse.

“I miss you kissing my lips,” Ross starts, and gets increasingly emotional from there. Sample verse: “Tears fall all the way to the south of France/ Poverty line hang lower than my pants/ Invited to the Grammys but I feel so out of place.”
