Video: Jean Grae - "Kill Screen"

Lenny Kravitz, Grace Jones, Lauryn Hill, Lion Babe, Thundercat, SZA & More Rock The Afropunk Festival 2015 in Brooklyn, NY.Jean Grae (OR IS IT??) in a still from the "Kill Screen" official video

As surely as smoke signals fire, Jean Grae's mindteaser for "Kill Screen" has been consumed by a mindf**ker of an official video for the Gotham Down bonus cut. Or to put it another way, the fingerpopping has crescendoed into a 5-alarm nerdgasm. This thing is filled with more subliminal messages, clues, easter eggs, player stats, secret urls, fnords and general mindf**kery than any one human brain can absorb in a single (or even several) viewing(s). The information contained herein appears to be of a rather urgent nature--updates along the lines of: YOUR FRIENDS ARE ALREADY DEAD. NONE OF THIS IS HAPPENING. YOU HAVE CREATED AN ALTERNATE ENVIRONMENT. YOU HAVE KILLED EVERYONE. GET OUT OF THE ROOM NOW. And so forth. So if we're gonna crack this thing we are going to have to a) get the Okayplayer forensic video team back on active duty asap to comb through this chumpy frame-by-frame with a fine-toothed afropick and b) start up the hivemind and get it crunching numbers on some of the more difficult calculations by sharing the video with you, the OKP reader. Hit play below to start crunching and stay tuned for more analysis.
