Run the Jewels release the new music for “Out of Sight” featuring 2 Chainz and from writer-director Ninian Doff.
Ninian Doff brought together the “GET DUKED!” cast for a wildly unique video that works as a short film, featuring a mythical museum that spotlights an alternate history in which Run the Jewels has existed for thousands of years influencing all art and culture.
“It’s pretty unbelievable this happened. Firstly that I got to make a music video for one of my favorite bands starring the cast of my debut film - it’s such an insane meeting of passions I’m still pinching myself,” said Doff. “I've made music videos for Run the Jewels in the past and their music is a vital part of the GET DUKED! soundtrack.”
To celebrate the premiere of “Get Duked!” Amazon Music has partnered with Twitch for a watch party featuring Run The Jewels for the "Out of Sight" video and “GET DUKED!”
Run the Jewels interview with Eric the Architect will take place on Twitch.com/AmazonMusic at 6 p.m. PT/9 p.m. ET.
Dean, Duncan and DJ Beatroot are teenage pals from Glasgow who embark on the character-building camping trip — based on a real-life program — known as the Duke of Edinburgh Award, where foraging, teamwork and orienteering are the order of the day. Eager to cut loose and smoke weed in the Scottish Highlands, the trio finds themselves paired with straight-laced Ian, a fellow camper determined to play by the rules. After veering off-path into remote farmland that's worlds away from their urban comfort zone, the boys find themselves hunted down by a shadowy force hell-bent on extinguishing their futures. From writer-director Ninian Doff — making his feature debut after a slew of award-winning music videos and short films for artists including Run the Jewels, Miike Snow, Migos, and Mykki Blanco — comes an anarchic satire of generational politics, hip-hop loving farmers and hallucinogenic rabbit droppings that pits the youth of tomorrow against the status quo of yesterday. Get Duked! stars Eddie Izzard, Kate Dickey, Georgie Glen, James Cosmo and a breakout young cast featuring Samuel Bottomley, Viraj Juneja, Rian Gordon, and Lewis Gribben.
GET DUKED!
