Nicky da B- Hot Potato Style
While looking up information for the Mad Decent Block Party, I was saddened to discover that Nicky da B had recently died on September 2, at only 24 years old. The up and coming New Orleans bounce artist had his biggest hit with Diplo, in 2012, Express Yourself, and at the time of his death was working on a full length album with him. This video, also from 2012, was created by Bob Wiesz and Casey Coleman, who also worked on Beasts of the Southern Wild.

This was Cypress Hill’s debut single off their self titled 1991 album. The song also contains a sample at the very end, “All I wanted was a Pepsi” from the Suicidal Tendencies song Institutionalized. The video has cameos from Ice Cube and Q-Tip and was filmed in NYC despite the band being from Los Angeles (specifically South Gate).
Cypress Hill are playing the Made in America Festival on Sunday in Grand Park.
