Reggae on a Bike, Must Sell Off

2021-07-15T21:13:00.003-07:00

Whats Up Mad Music Fam. Music continues to be a binding force in unique and interesting ways. Today we share a new musically inspiring feature I recently found "Music on a Bike". So a DJ created a concept of turntables on a bike where he rides through communities playing music and building a party vibe. Not an easy task to cue and mix while riding and navigating, but he seems to have it under control, most of the videos are Drum and Bass music. So as many of you know the British based genre of Drum and Bass or DnB was inspired and influenced by the original Jamaican dub and reggae which is characterized in the bass heavy sound.

Enter Dom Whiting a full time mechanic and part time DJ who decided to with the relaxation of some covid protocols to have a party on a bike. He said " I want to bring people together and enjoy a bit of music because we have been away from each other for a long time." Nothing like music to bring people together

Its mad fascinating whether you are into the music or just the characters who are riding with him, of just the scenery of various towns throughout England.

If Drum and Bass is not your "cup of tea" just fast forward to time mark to 18:38 to hear Koffee's Toast drum n bass style to see the reggae influence.

Enjoy... Maaad

And just to show how a good vibe and music can grow organically look at where he started with the first video, just him and his so so self.

Hidden Reggae Gems that you may have missed back in time

2021-06-24T21:28:00.000-07:00

Blessings and respect to all of the massive out there. Music we seh all di way. so some much reggae music is released in Jamaica every week that even the top DJs miss something. So today we take a big jump back in time, going through the catalogue of CDs and found these 2 gems. Songs that didn't get their due back in the day but if you give them a listen, they were at the time well ahead and should have shine, shine bright like a diamond (in Rhi Rhi voice and melody)

Anyways listen and acquaint yourself with these songs that should have been big hits.

Firstly the British Knight Riddim, produced by Kareem Goodison of Orange Hill Records. This hip hop beat fused with dancehall had reggae stars on the riddim including Aidonia, Anthony B and Jovi Rockwell. However the lead singe by Fantan Mojah is the stand out . when Fantan was the energetic rasta with the back back, long before the girls' skin out videos. Anyway check it out his characteristic chanting and his unique vocal styling that make the fusion sound work. mixed by 3 time Grammy Sound Engineer and recent JARIAH 2021 Honoree Rorey Baker. the song is special.....Maaaad

Then we go back to our favourite Danish reggae singer Natasja, off her Album "Release" back in was another hip hope fusion with dancehall "Summercute" still has a vibe. Produced the multi talented Danish producer Pharfar, with Natasja sitting on the riddim like a lizard on a limb this one should have been another world wide stunner ...Maad Music

Reggae Emotions are Strong On this One

2021-06-16T21:36:00.002-07:00

It is a joy and a pleasure when new artists finally buss who have been in the game developing their musical craft and finally get to enjoy well deserved attention.

With a beautifully shot video featuring Folly Great House in Portland we find the "hot new artists" Yaksta ( Bush Lawd) and Nation Boss on with the brand new message music for their collaboration "Emotions". The video storyline and visuals pays homage and is almost like a sequel to Nation Boss' Humans video.

Great costuming, Superb cinematography, the colours the movement ohh and the song shaaat quality music and a quality video , we like to see how Jamaican production companies (in this case always creative RD studios) is stepping up the game and placing reggae on the world stage even more where it madly deserves to be.

This is a Mad Emotional Moment in Music..........Mi fi tell unuhh this one badd no lie.

Reggaeton roots is built on Shabba Ranks

2021-06-10T21:44:00.002-07:00

Whats up Mad Music People . We all Love Reggaetón with superstars like Daddy Yankee and J Balvin but do you know the true history to reggaetón.

Well jump back in the music time machine to 1990 when Shabba Ranks created the song "Dem Bow" a classic dancehall anthem taken from Shabba's 1991 album Just Reality. To this day, elements of the song's accompaniment track are found in over 80% of all reggaetón productions

The song and riddim produced by Bobby Digital inspired an instrumental in Puerto Ricoin the mid 90s called "Dem Bow' which its distinct drum pater became characteristic of the sound of reggaetón

Steely & Clevie, creators of the Poco Man Jam riddim, are usually credited with the creation of dembow

Here is the reggaetón derivative, I am sure you here the similarity....maaaad

Jamaicans tell mi if I lie about this song

2021-06-03T20:15:00.003-07:00

Whadd up Peeps, this week it's a short and sweet special. Every time I hear this song and I can't escape the Jamaican version. Its a classic dance song by Calvin Harris, I am sure you heard it numerous times is on everyone's favourite playlist

This dance floor anthem was highly successful reaching number 1 position in 22 countries. The song "How Deep is Your Love" produced by DJ Calvin Harris and the Disciples featuring the vocals of Norwegian Ina Wroldsen

So in the first line sings she sings "I want you to breathe me". But the Jamaican in all of us hear "I want you to Breed Me " tell me if I lie ..... Mad Moment in Music

Humans are taking over Reggae Music

2021-05-27T21:26:00.004-07:00

Whaa Gwann Mad Music Family, good music can't be stopped and every time you think you have hit the pinnacle, a mad moment in music hits you again. Sooo this week an unusual occurrence, 2, yes count them 2 hot songs with the same title enjoying good rotation in the reggae universe.

First up Nation Boss' "Humans " a classic love lost tale with an engaging video shot in the cool Blue Mountains featuring a demure and quietly confident artist Nation Boss. Already creating a buzz in Jamaica this one is sweet and potent in its simplicity and sound.

Then strangely enough when researching this song I backed into this other song by another new comer with tremendous talent Yaksta. He is now getting well deserved attention for his inspirational song "Ambition" but also has a song out called also titled "Humans" with a well produced video telling the evil virtues of humans.

So which Humans are you in favour of #TeamNation or #TeamYaksta. either way Reggae is the winnner,,,,Maaaaaad

What is even madder is both artist have a combination together , no its not Humans, Humans ;-) but "Emotions" look out for that one these two talents will continue to impress a sure sign that reggae is alive and well in Jamaica.

Then there were more Humans

Did you Know Shabba Ranks did a cover of a Beatles' Song

2021-05-13T21:47:00.000-07:00

Whats popping, my music family. We went back in time for this hardly known about gem. Everyone in reggae land knows the original " Mr. Loverman" "The Emperor ", "A Mi Man" "Dutty Stintking Shabba Ranks" aka Rexton Rawlston Fernando Gordon, arguably in the late 80 and early 90 the most popular Jamaican artist in the world. Known for his hits "Mr. Loverman". "Housecall" with Maxi Priest, "Slow and Sexy" with Johnny Gill, "Respect", "Pirates Anthem", "Trailer Load A Girls", "Wicked inna Bed", "Caan Dun", and "Ting A Ling" and many more hits. He won the Grammy Award for Best Reggae Album in 1992 for As Raw as Ever and in 1993 for X-tra Naked.^[

Little known fact do you know he did a cover version of a classic Beatles song "She's a Woman." Well almost he did a DJ feature on the cover but thats qualifies as part of the cover ....it was music magic

The song "She's a Woman" was recorded by Scritti Politti a British punk and pop band back in 1991 with featured guest vocals from Shabba Ranks, the song became a UK Top 20 single, song.

But lawwwd have mercy when a remix version by dance collective Apollo 440 was released the song really took off Here is Shabba Mr Loverman on di track....maaaad.

If you want to here the original with more of Green Gartside's vocals pree this version, but we like Shabba vocals on the remix more

Music never Looked this Good

2021-03-25T22:30:00.001-07:00

Well the pandemic has really changed things. As we in Jamaica would say you sometimes have to " tun yuh hand fi mek fashion" Or since the buzz word is "pivot" likewise the DJ world has been forced to pivot as they are not able to play at parties, festivals and clubs like they used to have have found some mad creative ways to showcase their skills.

Discovered they are now shooting their sets from some really awesome locations. the music is EDM which really enhances the visuals. Check out a few of our favourites, firstly Juicy M from the picturesque Siruana Spain

Looking and sounding mad gooood

Then if you liked the 1st one check out Sub Focus and Wilkinson live from Dorset England (Drum n Bass Style). This one it has lights, fog machines, drones ..man Music never looked this good...maaaaaad

When the BBC theme gets the cool treatment

2021-03-18T20:16:00.003-07:00

Mashups is the new "hot ticket' I'm sure you heard and seen the social media influence of "Sunshine (The light)" by Orlando's DJ Amorphous. The single featuring Luther Vandross "Never too Much " and Rhianna "Kiss it Better" which went on to become the groovy party hit for for Fat Joe.

On the heels of this hit there is one mash up that blew me away. We all now the BBC news theme but who knew it could be remixed to sound become a Mad cool dance hit

Meet Ben Howell aka Ben H, a DJ from Glasgow, Scotland. So the mix was made while on lock down during the pandemic he used his Garage Band to recreate the theme and then remixed it with Dua Lipas's Hallucinate. The result Mad Musical Magic.

Don't be surprised if you hear this one at your club ... as soon as this pandemic allows the parties to restart and opens up its doors again.

Truly a Mad Moment in Music!!!

Christian Music never sounds this Devilishly Good

2021-03-12T16:56:00.001-08:00

I know I know, Christians and Devils doesn't seem like a good mix in music, but just give it a listen. I found this artist who is mad talented and his beats and production are Str8 fire.

Raise your right hand if you ever heard the music of NF.

His name is Nathan Feurestein but performing under his initials NF, he is a rapper with a purpose with incredible word play, delivery and introspective lyrics and his cadence on these beats will BLOW you away

No newcomer he has released five studio albums and won several several accolades, some of which include: the Gospel Music Association Dove Award for Rap/Hip Hop Album of the Year (Therapy Session); and a triple-platinum certified single in the United States which also charted internationally ("Let You Down").

Check out his latest Video Clouds" which speaks for itself,

No surprise his idol is Eminem , apart from the obviously characteristic similarity, his melodies , cadence , delivery and metphors are just on point. I though I was watching Eminem 2.0.

The man badd...no lie ,possibly if he was in the secular world he would be a bigger star. but no shame in the game, talent is talent If you like his style check out this other video

Maaaad Music MifiTellYuh

Bunny Wailer the Biggest Song you Didn't realize He Wrote

2021-03-05T14:51:00.001-08:00

Whaddup Mad Music fans, this week saw the tragic passing of another reggae icon, Bunny Livingston "Jah B" the original Wailer, may his musical soul rest in peace.

But in all the tributes to his musical legacy there is one song that most may have forgotten, yet it may be the biggest and most successful song he ever wrote and sung. Can you guess?

Yes it is Electric Boogie which inspired the Electric Slide Dance. It is now known more popularly by the cover version done by his good friend Marcia Griffiths (then a part of the I-Threes). The original was recorded in 1976 well before its time.

But it was re recorded by Marcia Griffiths in 1983, but it was really when the song was remixed in 1990 and featured on Griffiths album Carousel that it truly shaat and became an international hit. Along with the accompanying Electric slide line dance it then built up to the musical juggernaut it is today.

A staple at any wedding, block party or good old family reunion, this song never fails to draw people to the dance floor. Maaad

Protoje turning a Maroon?

2021-02-25T20:10:00.001-08:00

What up Mad People, been off the radar for a minute. trying to decipher this crazy new Pandemic world. Thanks for all the feedback and well wishes, I am safe and sound and ready to ready to rebound with a mad crazy sound

So Protoje is practicing rasta so what's the connection with the Maroons. Well in Jamaica the buzz this week has been the election of the new Colonel of the Maroons Richard Currie. For those who might know the Maroons are a sovereign nation within Jamaica based on a peace treaty with the British at the end of the Maroon war in 1740. The Maroons have maintained their culture and history over the years and with election the new Colonel plans to reinstate some of their sovereignty.

But the real story is the picture of the new Colonel that is creating the buzz on social media , women from all over Jamaica ae talking about moving to Accompong Town and re discovering their maroon roots based on the handsome looks of the new chief . Some are calling him the Jamaican Back Panther and Wakanda.... I mean Accompong Forever.

But hold up this Maroon Chief has been hiding in plain sight. A good friend of reggae dancehall star Protoje was even seen in the maroon community campaigning for him But no wonder they go waaaaay back. he sings about him in his mega hit with Popcaan "Like Royalty".

Pree now Colonel Currie in his Maroon look at 0:41 and 3:53 time mark of the video.

Maybe the chief will convince Proto to adopt Maroon as he is true identity

Strength we seh and loyalty........maaaad

Whats the party like in Ibiza!

2020-01-23T20:02:00.002-08:00

Lets stay in the UK groove and bring up another British classic that probably is not well known stateside.......Skepta.....Annesia from way back in 2011

This video captures the essence of the Ibiza dance experience.

Not even a battle of "wahhhta" (0:25 mark ) love the British accent

Love the chorus...Who you trying to diss.......Who did you fight with .....Who did you kiss,....

For those particularly interested Skepta apart from being one of the biggest British Rappers (see him also on the Grime remix of Hello-Good Morning by Diddy and Dirty Money ) is known for a very controversial music video "All over the House" Google it …...it is an eye opener....maaad

The Storm over STORMZY

2020-01-16T21:23:00.000-08:00

Hey Mad Peeps, back at you again .Firstly I must admit I am a little late with this but yeah I heard Vossi Bop by Stromzy but really didn't understand the musical magnitude of the Storm that is "Stromzy".

The Uk Grime rapper Stormzy is been hailed as a living music legend. I realized his depth and reach when he was the headline performer for the Glastonbury Festival in the UK, this is BIG a show whose previousl headlines includes heavyweights like Beyoncé and Coldplay

So back to Vossi Bop I heard the song but only recently did I see the video and OMG the beat is hot , the mans got bars, the choreography is lit and the video is pure FIRE maaad. Look out for the little boy popping up throughout the video , maaad creative

Well to understand the universal appeal of Stormzy you have to see his early videos , this video captures his street appeal and approach ability from 2015. UK Rap is a little harder to follow with the accent but TRUST, mad music is universal. #problem #merky. Low Budget but HIGH on Vibes

Then fast forward to 2020 now a superstar with real money for a real BIG video together with Ed Sheeran( his good friend) and Burna Boy ( Afro Beat Don) on a dancehall beat....maaad Stormzy we see u duh you ting

Forget the Olympics B-Boys are the Real Deal

2020-01-09T21:22:00.001-08:00

B- Boying or Break dancing has survived over the years from the early days in New York and the movies like Krush Grove and Electric Boogaloo to now being a worldwide phenomenon. Its growth is even more visible in Europe where it is still a respected and revered art form and culture.

Indeed the competitions and battles take on an Epic Status as the venues for some of these events are held in arena type facilities akin to gladiators in the Roman arena.

This is an old school clip but trust me time can't discount the sheer mad awesomeness of this video.

Anyways the athleticism, dance skill and pure b-boying is captured in this clip taken in Holland
check it out and look for the double flip at end...its maaaaaad energy ) with an exclamation finger).
If you know B-Boys you will recognize some legends in this early clip like Neguin from Brazil
We say B-Boying for Tokyo Olympics in 2020 right after men's floor exercise and lets see who has the real talent.
Maaad enjoi

I feel like Gitting Up to Git Down

2019-10-18T16:01:00.000-07:00

Drop me a chun @ bigtingsmusic@gmail.com

So back to the news, A little late but really feeling this song by Blanco Brown and the song "The Git Up" a clever blend of line dancing, hip hop and 2 step/ It has taken the word by storm and inspired the #TheGitUp Challenge on Tik Tok and all over social media. Originally designed to be done with a partner but as the song gained popularity Blanco says you can do it by yourself and just follow his lead. A good fusion of country and hip hop that will have you dancing all night.

We cant showcase this video without paying homage to another classic line dance, "The Electric Boogie" by Marcia Griffiths. A staple at any wedding or good old family renuion, this song never fails to draw people to the dance floor.

Mad Fun Fact the song is actually a cover the original was released by Bunny Wailer in 1976 and re recorded by Marcia Griffiths in 1983 along with the accompanying Electric slide dance it became a the musical juggernaut it is today. MAAAAAD MUSIC

All you have to say is YA YA YA YA

2019-09-12T21:43:00.000-07:00

Hey Mad peeps back at it again on a Funky Friday. We jump back into the dance world this week with uber Producer and DJ Armin Varn Buuren. The first time I heard this infectious and hypotonic song I could not stop singing it over and over and over again. Definitely a hit song and now has become a signature final song on Armin's live stage shows

The song is "Blah Blah Blah' a simple yet catchy song that has captured the energy and call and response of a trance party session. Check it out

Armin Van Buuren is a Dutch DJ and remixer who hosts " A State of Trance " a weekly radio show broadcast to over 39 Million listeners in 84 countries on over 100 radio stations . He aint no joke when it comes to dance music. The song is good on its own as you see over 340 Million YouTube views. But if you ever experience the song "live" Lawd Have Mercy" the energy is through the roof maaaad vibes mi a tell you. Here is the amped up "live" version at Tomorrowland....maaaaaaad

Fresh New Music, R U Ready for a Sonic Sample

2019-07-11T22:01:00.001-07:00

Whaddup Mad Peeps, its TGIF, Thank Goodness it's Fresh Fridays, we got some new muisc that we think is worth a listen and even better watch out for these artists for some really soulfully and totally fresh music.

We see stars long before they become constellations ;-). We told you about Chronixx from 2012 check our blog from them.

Anyways this week we have two stars bubbling under the sonic radar but poised to buss into mainstream recognition real soon. Their sound I like to call neo soul reggae, a mellow, insightful and totally organic and fresh.

First check out Royal Blu

A very talented artist out of Spanish Town doing very well in Europe but still not yet picked up in his homelenad. Royal Blu given name Sean-Michael Francis has very potent lyrics with a conscious and rootsy feel to his music. His music is a fusion of different musical influences and sounds, dancehall , dub, hip hop soul . He is Maaaaaaaad creative pree him and his influence on this very well produced animated fused video for the song "Style and Pattern".

Then check out Daniel Casear a Canadian singer songwriter of Barbadian and Jamaican heritage.In fact hisfather Norwill Simmons was a gospel singer who release his gospel album while a teenager in Jamaica.No surprise his music features that reggae and caribbean vibe. Check him out on“Cyanide”, a funky love song with literally a sweet melody and heavenly harmonies, that make this a short, sweet and maaaaaadly hyptnotic tune

Big Up Javin from Herboo, a fan and friend of the blog for this suggestion. this is what we call Maaad Melodic Music.

Dancehall Pop Clash, Who is taking notes from Who

2019-06-27T22:28:00.001-07:00

Dancehall and what I like to call Dancehall Pop or cross over is mad competitive.especially in the female category. I recently made an observation with the new generation of superstars Nicki Minaj and Shensea and their latest releases, stricking similarities.

First Lets look at Niki Minaj's "Megatron", a bouncy track infused with Danny Browne's produced "Filthy" riddim made famous by Mr. Vegas and his Heads High track.
Megaton is the first single for her soon to be released album, by her deifinition Megatron means "the baddest"and she takes the opportunity especially in the last verse to tell you why sexually she has going on (maybe TMI) . Oh and by the way it features no surprise her fiance Kenneth Petty. We like the crossover poential and the homage to old school dancehall but not so sure this one is a hit

Then lets look at Niki's whip and Shensea's whip jus for reference

Shensea just got signed to Interscope and the first single with her new label is "Blessed" with fellow label mate and hip hop superstar Tyga. Producced by Rvssian Jamaica wonder producer, lets jump in to her single and watch Blessed

Ok lets break it down, Niki's Chours Bratta brrrat, Shensea Chorus Raaata Rattata. Both sporting high end sports cars. Both in tropical exotic locations Shnesea in Mobay, Niki in the studio but the sets are both tropical , choregography both Dancehall at its best, old school school stylee

Niki famous in the early part of her career for teasing her bisexuality. Shensea obviously being provacative by having a controversial opening scene with a scantily clad womna lying in her bed.....hmmmm. My how the music has come along way a leading dancehall artist suggesting switching it up and still respected in the dancehall, let a male DJ try that....it not going to go the same way. Even more interesting with Rastarfari intro and outro of the video no one thought rasta support dem tings. Both videos have red neon lights sets and the lists goes on and on. So who is coping who and who wins this round......Mmaaaad.

The Magic of a Single Shot

2019-06-06T22:35:00.001-07:00

Switching it up this week and exploring another mad creative artistic expression. I want to share a film style which I have a growing appreciation for, that is videos done in a single take or as it is known in the film industry a continuous tracking shot.

The filming technique has been captured in quite a few videos over the years most notably Happy Pharell Williams, Lil Wayne A Milli, Sia Chandelier and Whiz Khalifa We dem Boyz

Dont have a reggae or dancehall artist venturing this route just yet but that would be mad cool. I found this reggaeton pop single which captures the concept. Its "I cant Get Enough" featuring Benny Blanco Tainy Selena Gomez & J Balvin a fun and bouncy video if there ever was one (pun intended) :-)

If you want to see 2 great examples from film that are done in a single continuous shot, check out these two, the first is an action scene from the movie "Children of Men" which starred Clive Owens.

There is not one edit in this 6 minute segment. Hence when the squib (artificial blood used for special effects) exploded on the camera at the 3:01 section it is still on the camera until the end of the scene. They just cant stop to clean off the lens because the whole sequence including pyrotechnics, stunt men etc is rehearsed to continue seamlessly no cuts and retakes. That takes Maaad Creative planning.

Plus a vintage video

This is considered one of the most strikingly beautiful films ever made. Don't mind it was considered a propaganda film about the virtues of Communism in Cuba, it’s the film making that matters. The intricacy of this shot is just breathtaking.

Its a Happy Day in My Polos and My Damn Clarks - Hottest Dancehall Artists to Watch

2019-05-23T20:32:00.000-07:00

Wha gwaaan Mad People

We still digging in di crates, searching the dancehall and combing di internet for the hottest artist a road who have the mad talent to Buss Big.

So today we share with you some of my favourites that you should also keep an eye and ear out for. Firstly "Hot Frass" aka Romaine Lindsay originally from St. Thomas (home of stars like Popcaan and Morgan's Heritage). Frass is now based in the district of Hampton Court and building a musical energy Hot Frass hot right now .

He is riding high with the street classic Polo which features deejay Takeova. Strangely enough initially the song sounded like one person a deejay but it looks like Hot Frass and Takeova have the same tone and delivery on this one.

The man a big up Polo I hope Ralph Lauren cut the man a big cheque for the free promo

Anyways Hot Frass now based with Claims records (the label that help buss Gully Bop) has the melody and style for future tings watch out for him

(Video is raw dancehall so u know how it goes)

Then another artist who I think has the right approach, still somewhat underground but finding main stream buzz with the worthy song "Its a Holiday" meet Halonai, a producer, mixer and a true talent in every sense of the word. He taught himself to play the piano and is equipped with all the skills to be a future force...maaaad

I like the delivery and bounce of this one, lyrics, riddim everything is wicked on di sone maaaaad

First check out this video clip in ths studio.......vibes tun up

Then here is the official video but to me something got lost in the mix, the tune bad no lie but something about the song in the first clip real and humbler more than the 2nd clip Check it out

Sean Paul Bilingual, Bet you didn't know!!

2019-05-16T21:45:00.003-07:00

Whaddup Mad people

Its Funky Friday and back into the dancehall wi seh.

Sean Paul Jamaica's biggest dancehall artist expands his repertoire musically and linguistically. Sean spitting lyrics in Spanish, impressive. Not a song found on Jamaican airwaves but creating literally a fire overseas is "Contra La Pared" or en ingles"Against the Wall" an easy tempo mix of Reggaeton and Dancehall the influence of jamaican cuture is easy to see in the dancing and wah a gwan (check out at the 2:00mn time mark). A first I have seen Sean Paul bringing dancehall in a Spanish gwann mi General ....muy bueno or as we sey around here maaaad sumptin!

Shot on location in Utah's Lake Powell, nope not anywhere in South America, featuring dune buggies, dance crew and strangely enough cool winter gear although in the middle of the desert Lake Powell does get cold in the night.

Featuring J Balvin the Colombian Superstar who enjoyed massive global success in 2017 with "Mi Gente" they may have another hit on their hands already at 102 Million views and counting this chune a gwann good.

Can you take a Serious Message from Lil Dicky

2019-05-02T21:27:00.001-07:00

Wha Gwann Mad People, its Feel Good Friday Again. We mix it this week with a hip hop tune. Many of you may not know Lil Dicky. Lil Dicky because (Well You Know).

Aka David Burd he is a fairly well known underground rapper and comedian. He got his first big break with the release of the music video for "Ex-Boyfriend", which went viral with more than one million views on YouTube in 24 hours. He actually is a good rapper not a gimmcky clown but his deal is to play it off.

In more recent times he has become more main stream with the funny yet damn catchy single with Chris Brown "Freaky Friday"

But hold on he has carried his skills to another level. He last week released his latest project. We love the "Earth". A cutesy but definitely not folksy video (more closer to R than Lion King PG) showcasing his rapping style, comedy pacing and of course a good message about climate change and global warming. Kinda long but it plays out more like a short movie and is very entertaining. Maaaad..... we nahh lie this video shaaat
