I'm in love with the wacky shirt. The video art effects are nice, the music's nice, but he got me with that shirt. I'd Fly Overseas with anyone capable of wearing that shirt and that hat and not looking like a fool. For a more serious introduction of the artist, check Zion'ology, thanks to whom I just heard about this Brooklyn rapper with such a theatrical name.
And he has just released a new video, Why Even Try, which I like a little bit less because of the "I'm still in the sample-borrowing mixtape phase but I pretend to be already big and chased by paparazzi" attitude. But hey, if more famous artists are doing mixtapes (PayPal-record-breaking though they might be, Lil Kim, cue snickering) or borrowing-slash-stealing samples and pretending they're hot shit (you hear that, Will.I.Am?), why not.

I don't have speakers, but the video is lovely! Like caffeine for my eyes. :)
You're so right about the shirt! It's crazy--and would be a nightmare on most people. I enjoyed his "This Curious Mixtape" release and am glad to see the parameters of rap/hip-hop/electronica/soul expanding. It's about time.
Thanks for th eintroduction to this video and so many others, it is an entertaining journey to say the least.
