Last year, rap duo Weekend Money recruited Heems from Das Racist for their infectious ode to NYC taxis and nightlife, "Yellow." But it only got a music video this week—and boy it was worth the wait. "Yellow the song is about a night out in the city, bouncing around in cabs, ducking police, etc....the video is basically a wild taxi cab confession style version of that," Ne$$ of Weekend Money said. That doesn't do it justice: the video includes cameos from the ATL Twins, Hot Sugar, Fat Tony, Jimmy McMillan, and Dan Smith. Finally, we have up-to-date visual proof that Dan Smith truly doesn't age.
