In the music video for “Meowpurrdy” by the hip hop supergroup Run the Jewels, artist Cyriak Harris worked with Adult Swim to create a surreal animation featuring cats.
Last September revered hip hop auteurs Run The Jewels made music history when they unleashed the world’s first cat-rap album Meow The Jewels. Today, in conjunction with Adult Swim, the group released a mind-altering video by esteemed cult video artist Cyriak for the album’s lead track “Meowpurrdy,” a remix by El-P that deposits his and Killer Mike’s vocal performances in the midst of a rhythmic vapor of meows, purrs, and hisses. Cyriak’s visual treatment is an LSD-nightmare miasma of cat limbs and teeth fractalizing into feline Cthulu-esque monstrosities. Visit RunTheJewels.net for more.
