You NEED to See This Video

Raheem DeVaughn - Bulletproof (feat. Ludacris)



A great song deserves a great video and this companion to Raheem DeVaugn's single "Bulletproof," off his upcoming debut album The Love & War MasterPeace, is more than worthy. I stumbled upon it watching VH1 Soul earlier tonight and it gave me chills. It's nice to see someone take the natural combination of music and message back to where soul was in the 60s and 70s, but use today's mediums to make an even bigger emotional impact. A music video that calls upon the audience to...God forbid...think.

The message is important. The song is reminiscent of some vintage Curtis Mayfield. Luda is the prefect example of a featured artist, playing a finely tuned second fiddle to a song already has enough parts to be successful. And the video ties it all together. Bravo.
