System Of A Down’s Serj Tankian and Shavo Odadjian have both shared Lil Uzi Vert’s recent cover of Chop Suey!.

The Philly rap star tackled the nu-metal classic on their newly-released album Pink Tape, calling it ‘CS’ rather than giving it its full title.

Meanwhile, bassist Shavo posted it on his Instagram and asked his followers: “Have you heard the @liluzivert cover of Chop Suey?”

Elsewhere on Pink Tape, Lil Uzi Vert once again teamed up with Bring Me The Horizon on the absolutely huge Werewolf, and they worked with BABYMETAL on the song The End.
