I have no idea what’s going on with Kool A.D. and Heems currently. It seems that as soon as one ex-Das Racist member releases something, the other is hot on his heels. Earlier today, Heems dropped the video for ‘Shoegaze Desi Taiko’ and then, mere hours later, Kool A.D. releases his own for the track ‘Moneyball’.
The track, which is off his 63 mixtape, is one of the highlights of the album and the video differs quite dramatically from Heems’. Rather than being constructed from the beginning of a film, ‘Moneyball’ finds Kool A.D. in a variety of psychedelic situations in which he is framed as some kind of bohemian overlord. It’s definitely a far artier affair than the Heems’ piece and has considerably more staying power, even if the concept is not quite as amusing.
Still, whatever happens I’m delighted that both ex-members of Das Racist seem to have actually upped their activity levels since the group disbanded. You can find information about Kool A.D.’s two latest mixtapes 19 and 63 here.
