Talent with hip-hop cover to give away (4-4)
I believe the answer is:
gift-wrap
'cover to give away' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'talent with hip-hop' is the wordplay.
'talent' becomes 'gift' (synonyms).
'with' becomes 'w' (short for with).
'hip-hop' becomes 'rap' (I've seen this in another clue).
'gift'+'w'+'rap'='GIFT-WRAP'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for gift-wrap that I've seen before include "(Of a present) present beautifully" , "Put in coloured paper" , "Parcel up decoratively as with present" , "Decorative paper" .)
