This past year has been a major one for Dave East. After dropping Paranoia: A True Story this past summer, he solidified himself as a versatile artist. Today, he drops off the video for one of the highlighted tracks off the project with "Phone Jumpin" featuring Wiz Khalifa.
Dave East and Wiz Khalifa connected on the Reazy Renegade production for the turnt up "Phone Jumpin." The song itself is massive, getting spun over the airwaves so it only makes sense they deliver a visual treatment that does the song justice. While mobbing out on cop cars and abandoned hallways, they bring some left-field visuals for their dope collaboration. The way it was shot has remnants of early Busta Rhymes with the fish eye close-ups while their actions are sped up.
In addition to the video, Dave East also announced that he has his DJ Holiday mixtape Karma dropping this Friday.
