As 2014 and 2015 have been the biggest years for anti-police brutality protesting in a very long time, El-P and Killer Mike have used their Run The Jewels platform to share their anti-brutality message with the masses. We’ve already seen the extremely emotive video for “Close Your Eyes (And Count To Fuck),” and the video for “Early” follows suit. This time, the rap duo employs a very cool computer-generated art style to express the song’s narrative.

The video’s art style is reminiscent of Sin City (far more so than that Taylor Swift video everyone is talking about) with black, white, and red taking over the color palette. Even if the social message is lost on you, the blocky, stylized models of El-P and Killer Mike are pretty enjoyable.

Check out “Early” below.
