Odom Jr. and Diggs are early favorites for the 2016 Tony nominations for their roles as Aaron Burr and The Marquis de Lafayette/Thomas Jefferson, respectively.

Both Diggs and Odom Jr. have active musical careers outside of Hamilton: Odom Jr. as a solo artist and Diggs as part of rap group clipping.

What was it? We didn't know, but we were willing to wait for it.

And now they've BLESSED THE WORLD with a cover of Selena Gomez's hit "Good For You." It's available for free on Leslie's Bandcamp.

"I covered the tune in my set at Elsie Fest because ... well, because I love it." Odom Jr. told BuzzFeed. "I'd hoped Daveed could join me there. I knew the audience would flip but he was unavailable. So we did this."


GO FORTH AND PUT IT IN YOUR EARS.
