Krazee-Eyez Killa

Not just the name of a hilarious Curb Your Enthusiasm episode. It is also the theme of a recently released video from Lloyd.

Lloyd - Girls Around The World

This video (directed by Hype Williams as you may have already surmised) freaks me out a little. I like this song, and the video is visually arresting, but those eyes are Krazee. The video also further explores rappers and their obsession with space. (See this recent article from Slate about Afronauts for background.) Some of you may also recognize the beat and Lil Wayne's lyrics from Eric B. and Rakim's "Paid In Full."

You may remember Lloyd from last year's "You (featuring Lil Wayne)" or "Get It Shawty."
Personally, I wasn't a big fan of either song, but "You" featured some interesting lyricism from Lil Wayne. Regardless, Lloyd is back with Lil Wayne to try to recapture the magic from last year.

Interesting (maybe) side note: Chris Williams (Krazee-Eyez Killa in aforementioned show) was recently on the Discovery Channel show Verminators. He had rats in the attic. It was disgusting.
