One beat makes you larger and one beat makes you small

The best part about Canadian rapper turned Portlander Josh Martinez is that he never takes himself too seriously.

In the new video for his song "Underground Pop," featuring Moka Only, the two hip-hoppers channel the late and great Hunter S. Thompson on a Fear and Loathing style trip. The video is directed by Stuey Kubrick, the lesser known and very reclusive nephew of Stanley Kubrick:



This song is pretty rad and the direction is decent, but it's Martinez's acting that completely steals the show. Who knew his legs were so bendy or his eyes so shifty?
