Swet Shop Boys spark fireworks new video for ‘Zayn Malik’
The track is the latest single from debut LP ‘Cashmere’.
Swet Shop Boys - the hip hop trio featuring Riz MC, Heems, and Redinho - have unveiled the video for recent track ‘Zayn Malik’.
In it, they set off an impressive fireworks display in the middle of an estate while a group of dancing young people in black tracksuits look on.
Dealing with issues of racial representation and a nod to the former boy band star’s success both in the charts and the bedroom (“Look Zayn Malik’s got more than 80 virgins on him/ There’s more than one direction to get to paradise”), the track is taken from the group’s debut LP ‘Cashmere’.
