Jurassic 5 take shots at several US Government figures in the video for their new single "Work It Out."
The satirical video follows a humorous depiction of President George W. Bush as he jogs through downtown Los Angeles while listening to J5 on his iPod, taunting the unemployed, raising gas prices and exercising with Vice President Dick Cheney and Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice along the way.
"The traditional rap video just wasn't doing it for us. We wanted to hit people with something interesting, something relevant to the world. The video, as a political commentary, does just that, " J5's Chali 2na told SOHH.com exclusively.
"Work It Out" is the group's first single off their fourth album Feedback. The video is scheduled to hit music television stations around the world this week.
Jurassic 5's most recent album Feedback will be released next Tuesday, July 25th. The "Work It Out" single also features the Dave Matthews Band. J5 DJ/Producer Nu-mark handled most of the production for Feeback, while Scott Storch, Salaam Remi, Exile and Bean One also contributed tracks for the album. Mos Def also makes a guest appearance on the LP.
In conjunction with the release of Feedback, Jurassic 5 will begin their nationwide tour this week - hitting every major U.S. city. The tour began earlier this week in Seattle on July 18th and will end on September 13th with a show at the Las Vegas House of Blues.
