Over a year ago while on tour with Bedouin, Eon showed me this video for “Us Placers” from Child Rebel Soldier, a supergroup of sorts consisting of rap artists Lupe Fiasco, Kanye West and Pharrell Williams. If having those three artists featured on the single weren’t enough to create internet buzz, the prominently featured main piano loop and vocal sample from Thom York’s “The Eraser” makes this song a quadruple threat. Though the group have never commissioned a video for this song, the video below, which was produced and directed by Vashtie Kola, caught the eye of Kanye West who went on to praise it on his blog.
