The Thirst 'Today' by Meji Alabi
New director Meji Alabi teams up with London fourpiece The Thirst and delivers this amusing take on the monotony of everyday life through the eyes of a worker at a convenience store.
Nasty C 'Jungle' by Meji Alabi
South African rapper Nasty C teams up with Meji Alabi on this London-set video for Jungle, pitching him in a world that mixes pop video slickness and something far grittier.
Combining performance with more dreamlike moments, Alabi creates a hard-hitting, all-consuming sensory experience to match the fierce message in Nasty's song Jungle.
MEJI ALABI:
"I’ve been following Nasty C for a couple years now so when the chance popped up to work with him for his first shoot abroad in London I snatched it up.
"The track itself feels visceral yet really amps you up so we wanted to channel a darker and disjointed vibe..but one that you could still rock to and Nasty jumped right in and killed his performances!"
