Earlier this summer, noise-rap act Clipping. (featuring Tony & Grammy winner Daveed Diggs) shared the glitch-heavy video for “Baby Don’t Sleep” off their upcoming Sci-Fi/dystopian concept album Splendor & Misery. As if we aren’t already hype enough, they’ve just dropped a new video for another album cut. Titled “Air ‘Em Out,” the video is directed by Carlos Lopez Estrada and features Daveed Diggs as a spacey astronaut. As Lopez Estrada explains…

“I met with Clipping a few months ago to talk about potential ideas for this video and Jonathan half jokingly said that we should put Daveed in zero gravity. I emailed them back a few days later saying “I know you were kidding, but what if we do?” We then embarked on a wonderful creative journey of scrappy visual effect techniques and ended up with our own janky version of zero gravity, which turned up to be a pretty cool thing, I believe.”
