Written by SOURCE on December 17, 2018
The Black Eyed Peas are keeping fans satisfied.
Less than two months after releasing their long-awaited seventh studio album, MASTERS OF THE SUN VOL. 1, the Grammy-winning trio have unleashed a visual for “BACK 2 HIPHOP” featuring Nas. The motion graphic video is based on a concept by will.i.am, and was directed by Black Eyed Peas’ frequent collaborator Pasha Shapiro, who helped create the album’s animated VR experience.
Though there’s never a dull moment in the BACK 2 HIPHOP” visual, the highlight comes toward the end, when Nas’ verse kicks in. We see the rapper depicted as the golden Pharaoh seen on his I Am... cover art.
“It was ‘iLLMatic,’ such an honor to rock with NAS,” BEP told Complex. “He is such a huge inspiration to our crew!”
