With his latest visual release, Project Mayhem Music affiliate & New Deal Crewmember Chris Crack decided to transport us back in time. Although the Davy Greenberg directed video was shot earlier this week, “The Interlude” is a track found on his first EVER mixtape project, “D.O.P.E. [Doing.Our.Part.Effortlessly.]“, released in early 2012. In the visual Crack shows how he and his New Deal Crew family spend their downtime. So even on his days off he’s working. With a little help from Ms. Badu, Crack proves that he’s been problem since early in his career.
