The Very Best do a Nairobi rendition of Lil Wayne's "A Milli" video in the clip for their latest single "Yohua Alukuti". Esau plays Weezy and Johan a stiff bodyguard as the duo deliver the realest version of a rap posse cut we've seen, with appearances by a goat (!), a beat-up station wagon, and Seye in the background. Watch it above, The Very Best's new MTMTMK LP is due July 17 via Moshi Moshi. Video by Village Beat.
