After much anticipation, out rapper Cakes Da Killa has finally unleashed the visual for Don Dada, a forward-thinking Hip-House track he collaborated on with NYC producer Proper Villains.
In the video, Cakes plays a photographer shooting a fierce cocoa-skinned modelle (played by Bidi), and at one point Cakes serves but h queen realness in a short white skirt and heels as he dances around on a Brooklyn rooftop.
“Working with Cakes was honestly a breath of fresh air,” says director dayday. “I think that we were able to create something very special that we both are really proud of. Proudly one of the best collaborative experiences I had working with a musical artist. The idea for the video came about after I rewatched a film called Three Colours: Red directed by Krzysztof Kieslowski. In the film, there’s this really gorgeous scene of a photographer photographing the main character against a red satin backdrop. That scene really stuck with me, so when Cakes reached out to me about doing the video for Don Dada—that image immediately came to mind. After talking with Cakes about it, we decided to reference the Blaxploitation cinematic aesthetic. Cakes was adamant about having the video showcase the unapologetic beauty of Black women. Which I was totally down for, and I really admire Cakes for having this video represent that, especially with everything that’s happening with the Breonna Taylor case.“
Towards the end of the video we also got a taste of another track (not sure what the name is), which I’m hoping will be included on the follow-up to Hedonism.
I am a huge fan of Cakes, cannot wait for more music, and I would definitely love to interview him when the album drops.
MUVALAND EP will be released 13th November 2020 on Classic Music Company
