Following their Weezy-esque clip in the streets of Nairobi, The Very Best and newcomer UK/Nigerian Seye head to the countryside where they down a hallucinogenic "Kondaine" concoction with Turkana tribesmen and proceed to trip the fuck out. A goat is slaughtered in a sacrificial ceremony (fairly graphic footage of that. by the way, a warning for the weak stomachs) which turns Johan, Esau and Seye into the same four-legged mammal. Watch the Village Beat-directed music video above. The Very Best's upcoming MTMTMK is up for pre-order on iTunes now.
