The first clip includes footage of Bey and Mannie vibing out to some of the latter’s production, with the former recording a verse:

In the second clip, an interview from 2007 is included in which Yasiin Bey exlained why he wanted to work with Mannie Fresh. “I’ve always been a big fan of Mannie Fresh because I think his sound represents a modern version of that New Orleans Brass thing. …I think it’s kind of genius.”
