#DXCLUSIVE: Epic Beard Men & Atmosphere's Slug Honor Slick Rick In "Pistol Dave" Video

Epic Beard Men — the super duo comprised of B. Dolan and Sage Francis — are back with a new video for “Pistol Dave” featuring Slug of Atmosphere and vocalist Blue Raspberry.

The animated visual finds the Epic Beard Men detailing a shady character every touring musician is likely familiar with, while Slug adopts the Pistol Dave persona to anchor the song.

Blue Raspberry, mostly known for her contributions to Wu-Tang Clan material, offers her crooning vocals throughout the track. With animation courtesy of Wasaru, the “Pistol Dave” video doesn’t disappoint.

Sonically speaking, there’s a healthy nod to Slick Rick’s “Children’s Story” with lines such as, “Dave the dope fiend shooting dopes who don’t know the meaning of homie nor bloke.”
