RA brings us some visuals for his heater Media Midgets. Looks like they filmed this in some random junkyard, south iraq, and somehow resurrected the background from The Clash’s “rock da cashbah”. Definitely the first rapper to put a rubber tire maze in his video. Go grab “Legends Never Die” if you want more rugged man.
For the video, director Douglas Quill envisioned a dystopian, post-apocalyptic future where free thought and expression are dead. “It’s basically society being programmed and turned into mass marketed puppets, until the truth teller shows up and flips the switch,” says R.A. “That’s when society revolts against the oppressive brain washing machine. I think it’s deep but fun and super visual at the same time. This is my most ambitious, biggest, most cinematic video so far.”
