Souls of Mischief - Proper Aim (Music Video)

Souls of Mischief drop the video for their first single "Proper Aim" that takes viewers through a musical and visual representation of the track. Souls of Mischief have always been groundbreaking musically, and now they are stretching the boundaries of hip-hop videos as well. When was the last time you saw a rap video with no rappers in it? There are no lip-synchs here, only a transfixing peak into what it takes to create a dope art piece that doubles as an attention-grabbing album cover. Sound slow? It's anything but; in fact, the video's unusual format allows the viewer an unheard-of degree of immersion into the song. Montezuma's Revenge is the new album, their first in nine years and produced by Prince Paul.
