Jimmy Napes Won't "Give It Up" For Anything In His New Video

Lenny Kravitz, Grace Jones, Lauryn Hill, Lion Babe, Thundercat, SZA & More Rock The Afropunk Festival 2015 in Brooklyn, NY.

Jimmy Napes has been putting in time as one of the principal architects of Sam Smith and Disclosure's nu-soul steez out across the pond, having lent his hand to world-favorite "Latch" and my personal favorite "Together" with the mighty Nile Rodgers and Smith. Today, we've got the official, debauchery-filled clip for his new single "Give It Up," which follows Napes on a drug&drank filled excursion through the Vegas streets, perfectly complimenting the steamy electro-funk of the cut with a visual that mirrors the impropriety, all culminating in one bloody mess of a finale. "Give It Up" is our first taste of Napes' forthcoming The Making Of Me EP, which is slated for a March 9th arrival. Watch the inaugural clip below.
