video premiere: french-congolese rapper young paris delivers unapologetic call to action in ‘get ready’ ft. m1 of dead prez

June 23, 2016

Check out French-Congolese rapper Young Paris’ brand new music video, ‘Get Ready’ feat. M1 of Dead Prez, a swagged out call to action in the vein of Beyoncé’s ‘Formation’. ‘Get Ready’ pulsates with danceable afro-beats and the energy of a party anthem. It’s a boastful, unapologetic celebration of not only black pride, but, the specific rise of political resistance in the U.S. “This is our time, the stars have aligned/and this just the way we designed it”. Watch ‘Get Ready’ down below and let us know what you think.
