Young Paris and M1 of Dead Prez “Get Ready” in New Video

Congolese Afro-Elecro Rapper Young Paris teams up with M1 of Dead Prez for "Get Ready" video. The two rappers walk the line between rap and electronic dance music. With a sick traditional African drumbeats sample and witty lyrics, Paris makes a banger that's perfect for the summer. "Get Ready" is off Young Paris' new album African Vogue. Directed by Junkyard Cinema, Paris travels around New York accompanied by the Loumingou Night dancers.

“This song is an affirmation of African flyness!” M1 told Okayafrica in a recent interview. “It spits in the face of those historically backward thinkers who will be slammed to the ground by future-forward African culture and technology.”

Young Paris adds, “My intentions were to get people feeling revolutionized while shaking all they got.”

The Brooklyn based rapper will perform live August 14 at Okayafrica’s NYC SummerStage show alongside Mbongwana Star and Batida. Watch the video above.
