New Video: Mark Ronson (feat. Erykah Badu, Yasiin Bey, Trombone Shorty & Zigaboo Modeliste) – “A La Modeliste”

New Orleans plays the backdrop to the visuals of these overlooked heavy-hitters, assembled by Mark Ronson. Mos Def Yasiin Bey, with his signature old school red microphone, teases us with his appearance yet doesn’t bless the track with a verse. And the queen Erykah Badu convinced me that my mother didn’t wear any drawers. The track gives listeners that distinct NOLA sound, and a satisfied aftertaste of gumbo.

“RE:GENERATION is a documentary film, sponsored by Hyundai, that has also followed DJ Premier, Pretty Lights, The Crystal Method and Skrillex as they remix, recreate and re-imagine five traditional styles of music.” You can peep DJ Premier’s RE:GENERATION clip here (featuring Nas).
