DeJ Loaf – “Back Up” f. Big Sean (Video)

blame it on Meka October 5, 2015

On her major label debut project #AndSeeThatsTheThing, DeJ Loaf connected with her Detroit compatriot Big Sean for the bouncy single “Back Up.” The two now take their talents to the roller rink for the single’s visual treatment.

The video is essentially the polar opposite of the video for DeJ’s breakout single “Try Me,” where instead of having a bunch of people making menacing gestures to the camera (and, naturally, having a gun on the same counter where she pours cereal), “Back Up” – which samples DJ Clent’s dance-happy 2004 track “Back Up Off Me” – has children juking in the streets, grown-ups dancing in roller skates and everybody having a good time. Seriously, life must be relatively drama-free when you’re doing this in the middle of the day:
