The South African hip-hop trifecta of Reason, AKA and Khuli Chana combine forces in the new video for “Yipikayay,” a standout track from Reason’s Audio Re-Definition album.

The song’s new music video is a party affair, featuring mechanical bull riding and flashing neon lights, that sees the South African rappers dropping references to LL Cool J, Kanye, and Kim K.

Meanwhile, AKA and Khuli Chana’s other recent joint song “Baddest” just won Best Hit Single and Best Collaboration at the Metro FM Music Awards.
