He is the new star of Arabic hiphop, and now Palestinian/French/Algerian/Serbian artist Saint Levant has made a truly outstanding music video for new track Nails - directed by LA-based director-photographer Mattias Russo Larsson, featuring former adult actress and activist Mia Khalifa.

Saint Levant - aka Marwan Abdelhamid - performs Nails in blend of English, French and Arabic to illustrate a story of rising above his critics, and Russo Larsson's video pulsates with energy, colour, character and wit from start to finish, with a vibrantly diverse supporting cast, headed by the charismatic presence of Khalifa. And, perhaps not surprisingly, some great nails.

Commissioned by John Hassay in London, and shot over two days in LA, this is a hugely entertaining, buoyantly creative and empowering tour de force. It heralds Mattias Russo Larsson as a major up and coming talent in the music video business. One of the most exciting debuts we've seen this year.
