Danger Mouse and Black Thought have shared a new music video for their song “Because”, which also features Joey Bada$$, Russ and Dylan Cartlidge. The new music video features tons of trippy visuals for the song, and a mix of real performances and CGI-rendered art.
As directed by Uncanny, the video features a computer-generated pedestrian wandering through an artificially rendered version of New York City. In this version of New York City, the artists take over various oversized billboards and screens as they sing – at some points even taking over the sky itself. The pedestrian appears to be increasingly disoriented as the video goes on; at some points, a fish-lens camera effect takes over and completely destroys the boundaries between the buildings and artists.
As previously reported, Danger Mouse and Black Thought have joined forces in order to release new album Cheat Codes on August 12 via BMG. The two of them had recently shared new single “No Gold Teeth”, which will be featured in the album, back in May. “Because” is also expected to be featured in Cheat Codes.
