Malik B. x Mr. Green - "Devil" [Video Premiere]

Lenny Kravitz, Grace Jones, Lauryn Hill, Lion Babe, Thundercat, SZA & More Rock The Afropunk Festival 2015 in Brooklyn, NY.

Malik B. (of The Roots) teams with Mr. Green (of Live From The Streets) to deliver a haunting tale in the video for "Devil" - a track from their forthcoming Unpredictable LP. Malik B. and Mr. Green have teamed to deliver a project full of raw lyricism and tough beats. "Devil" leads the project with a droning bassline and suspenseful strings that decorate a basic breakbeat. Malik B. litters the track with an intricate tale that details the politics of beef on the block. The video directed by Kevin Lopez brings Malik's words to life in what looks like a Gummo-inspired narrative featuring blight and barren lots juxtaposed by bright graffiti and ghastly figures. Check the footage below to peep the video for "Devil" by Malik B. and Mr. Green. Look out for more from their forthcoming Unpredictable LP.
