Master rhyme blaster Rabbi Darkside drops a new video for his collaboration with DJ Rob Swift entitled “You and I and The Moon” from his 2013 album Prospect Avenue. Directed, produced, and edited by Tafadzwa M. Chiriga, the video is a noir-ish throwback to Weimar Cinema. Low light, high grain, and a minimal spooky performance by Darkside make for a luminary experience. The track is an interesting departure from the classic boom bap for which Rabbi D is known. Its solitary extended verse is more of a narrative meditation. As it progressively escalates, harmonious overdubs add an unsettling urgency to this hip hop haunt of dark self-discovery. DJ Rob Swift’s virtuosic scratches conjure a chilling winter wind to perfectly conclude this quixotic escapade. – BrokeMc
