Gearing up for the upcoming release of their album Black Up, Seattle experimental rap group Shabazz Palaces offer an intriguing visual for “Blastit” which contains thought-provoking impressions from Kenya. The description reads:

“This video contains footage from the upcoming documentary by Village Beat titled Tough Bond — a film about kids sniffing glue to survive street life in Kenya’s disappearing villages and exploding urban slums.” The original documentary score was provided by Shabazz Palaces. Learn more about the film and cause on the Village Beat Non-Profit page via Facebook.

Shabazz Palaces’s Black Up hits shelves in June 2011 through Sub Pop.
