Guns and Ships - Hamilton - MP3 instrumental karaoke

Never has the history of the US revolutionary war been presented in such impressive and fast-flowing rhymes. Of course, Hamilton—the hit Broadway musical written by Lin-Manuel Miranda—managed to flip things upside down when it comes to recounting the lives of historical figures (or, at least, a highly stylized, fictionalized version of them). “Guns and Ships,” one of the play’s most acclaimed songs, plays a pivotal role in the narrative, setting up the return of Alexander Hamilton to battle after being temporarily dismissed by George Washington. On the Original Broadway Recording, the song is performed by Leslie Odom Jr., Daveed Diggs, and Christopher Jackson. “Guns and Ships” features a rapid-fire rap section performed by Daveed Diggs who, in character as Marquis de Lafayette, argues for the return of Alexander Hamilton. Daveed Diggs’s lines hold the record for fastest-sung lines in Broadway history, at a stunning 6.3 words per second.
