#DXCLUSIVE: Alfred Banks & CZA Team Up For "VICE" Video

Burgeoning New Orleans MC Alfred Banks has returned with the second video release fromThe Beautiful.

Titled “VICE,” the visual features fellow rapper CZA and finds the gifted wordsmith still coming to terms with the loss of his older brother, Orlandas Banks. Orlandas, who suffered from schizophrenia, took his own life nearly four years ago.

“At my brother Orlandas’ funeral, I had to leave early to head to a show,” Alfred tells HipHopDX. “This song’s me trying to get back in ‘rap mode’ while dealing with the pain of losing a sibling. Around this point in the album, the schizophrenic voices start to develop. The entire track has double meaning.”
