Will Norman directs an appropriately kinetic promo for&nbsp;Manga St Hilare featuring Kamakaze.The effervescent visuals for Exercise feature&nbsp;head-spinning performances from the two rappers on a rotating turntable, whilst Hi8 cutaways and a blue analogue CRT filter complement the lo-fi, 8-bit style soundscapes in the track.&nbsp;"The video takes inspiration from the Victorian zoetrope device, as photographic stills of the rappers are joined in a cylinder, which then rotates to create the illusion of motion," explains Norman."Intercut with stop-motion sequences made up of anatomical illustrations, this is a constantly-moving promo which perfectly suits the high-octane track."An innovative, engaging promo with plenty of standout moments, it's a memorable visual that confidently merges vintage and contemporary vibes.&nbsp;[imgtoken data:1]

A montage of microscopes, hazmat suits and crowds fleeing the streets is superimposed under a flashing red light that comes to dominate the video’s colour palette.The video blends performance, cutaway and VFX to convey chaos as archive of a viral outbreak is cut together with dynamic studio performances and grainy black and white shots of the duo rapping back-to-back against thunderous skies.
