Random Midday Hotness: Let The Beat Build.

[vodpod id=ExternalVideo.819197&w=425&h=350&fv=]

So I wasn’t feeling this when I first heard it  but it’s wormed its way into my brain. The MC, Nyle, is an NYU student, and his squad rounds out the rest of the gang here. And for extra dopeness:  the audio and video for this were both shot simultaneously in one take.

UPDATE: Some behind the scenes stuff here.

  • Oh, you just like the backup singers’ hair.

    But this is really cute (and serious props to the director/cameraperson). It has nice end-of-the-school-year jubilation.

    I like this, and that is saying alot, since I no longer even like rap. He looks more like Lil Jon than Lil Wayne. I will say I do not understand the dancer staring deeply into the camera though, or the other folks that started jumping with him at the end.

    I LOVE THIS! I’ve listened to this song at least 20 times in the last 2 days. It brings an instant smile to my face. Thanks so much for sharing. The dancer at the end was super random though. I was just like um, okay then. The whole video has such a lighthearted and communal feel. I absolutely love the energy!
