Venture into the underworld with Major Lazer in their new video for ‘Night Riders’, which features strippers, foxy boxing and fire. What a combo!
When Major Lazer dropped their album Peace Is The Mission last year, ‘Night Riders’ looked to be immediate highlight on paper. It features Pusha T & 2 Chainz, the lethal combination who made Kanye West cut ‘Mercy’ such an unbelievable heater in 2012. Add some Carribbean flavour from Mad Cobra and man of the moment Travis Scott, and the stage was set for ‘Night Riders’ to be absolutely massive. While ‘Lean On’ stole most of Major Lazer’s attention last year, we’re glad that ‘Night Riders’ has been given some nocturnal shine in 2016 with visuals directed by the subtly-titled KILLDEATH.
The video follows the protagonist into the Oriental underworld which includes Homer Simpson’s favourite sport, foxy boxing. It’s unapologetically raw and kind of feels like an Asian Guy Ritchie film, and despite the all-star cast, Travis Scott is the only one who makes it into the clip. Notably, he also wears that Supreme & Three 6 Mafia collabo shirt. Swag. It’s an awesome clip, especially since you get to see a stripper bottle someone! Watch below and fingers crossed for Major Lazer to make one of their frequent visits to Australia sometime soon:
