Following their superb collab on How Did I Get So Calm, Oliver Jennings reunites with Dizzee Rascal to create a punchy video inspired by the early days of grime for his latest release What You Know About That.Featuring UK rap legends D Double E and JME, the video pays homage to the style, camera moves and nuance of iconic early grime videos - as Dizzee and guests reminisce about the old days - but reimagined for the future.Boasting multi-format visual setups (with plenty of grainy, early 2000's vibes), the video is a clash of past and present, presenting as an anachronistic visual mashup of the years Dizzy has been making music. Slickly executed with a perfect balance between slick studio footage and BTS-style setups, the video is a whirlwind of performance and technology - and impossible to tear your eyes away from.
