Hannibal Buress And Kendrick Lamar Join BJ The Chicago Kid In New Video

BJ the Chicago Kid is riding high in 2016. The artist spoke to us recently about his major label debut, In My Mind, and some of the collaborations on the album. Among those was a guest vocal turn by Kendrick Lamar on the album's latest single, "The New Cupid." It's a slow burn of a song, built primarily over a languid sample pulled from Raphael Saadiq's "Oh Girl."

BJ just released a video for "The New Cupid," and it not only features Lamar, but throws in an appearance by comedian and actor Hannibal Buress as the title character of the song. In this case, though, the idea of a new cupid is a particularly twisted, weird, and humorous affair. Watch the trio in action below.
