The sign in the beginning of this video for "Rebirth Is Necessary," taken from J Dilla's Rebirth of Detroit LP, reads the following: "Warning! This city is infested by crackheads. Secure your belongings and pray for your life. Your legislators won't protect you." That alone should serve as an indicator of just how thick of a grit-layer you can expect to see caked on top of these Tone Plummer and Mr. Wrong-starring visuals. Straight outta the not-so-pretty areas of Dillatroit, Michigan, where rebirth is nothing more than a dream--and nothing less than a necessity. Watch below.
