De La Soul has never been a group to shy away from tough topics.

Some of their more iconic songs, like "Say No Go," "Millie Pulled a Pistol on Santa," and last year's "Greyhounds," touch on subjects like drug addiction, sexual abuse, and drug trafficking.

So it's not surprising to see the group release a video like "Dawn. " The video, which was directed by J Anders Urmacher, is beautiful: in it, we follow an aspiring artist who gradually starts to break down, until tragedy hits; the young artist commits suicide.

The song, which was on De La Soul's last album and the Anonymous Nobody…, is dominated byYukimi Nagano, the lead vocalist of Little Dragon, who sings for more than four minutes. Only in the last two minutes do we see the great Posdnuos, who raps his verse from an auditorium seat, watching everything unfold.
