Strictly Come Dancing winner Hip Hop Pantsula is having the time of his life. HHP has just been selected to shoot a new music video with the internationally acclaimed director Nick Quested and the leggy R&B sensation Amerie.
The Setswana rapper, who was nominated for numerous awards this year, including an MTV Europe Music Award for Best Africa Act, was selected by thousands of South African music fans who were asked to vote for their favourite artist as part of MTV’s Making the Video with Shell initiative.
HHP, who was yesterday in the studio finalising his latest album, Acceptance Speech, is over the moon about shooting the video for his new track, Music N Lights, later this week in Johannesburg.
Quested, who has made close to 100 music videos for A-list stars including P Diddy, Nas, Common, Sting and Brandy, will be assisted on the shoot by South African music video directors.
Amerie, who was nominated for two Grammys last year for Female R&B Vocal Performance and Best Contemporary R&B Album, will make a cameo appearance in the video.
American Amerie is best known for her upbeat R&B tracks such as Why Don’t We Fall in Love? and recent chart successes such as Take, Gotta Work, 1 Thing and Touch.
Hip Hop Pantsula, who topped charts with his previous albums O Mang, O Mang Reloaded and YBA 2NY, said: “Nick Quested has worked with so many of my idols. It’s a fantastic opportunity to work with him to realise my vision.
“And the chance to have a star like Amerie appear in one of my videos is just a dream come true.”
The video will premier across Africa on December 7 on MTV.
