“Please, I don’t got time / Can I take a message?” Michael Christmas sighs on “Paul Wall,” opening his new single and music video with a restless sense of urgency. The Boston rapper duplicates his bouncy bars in his latest release (out today, November 10) with the most authentic special effect available — an army of fellow Michaels.
Michaels lifting weights. Michaels trading verses. Michaels out here just looking ominous. Michaels constantly scurrying about, racking up half a day’s worth of filming for director Kavya Krishna and cinematographer Daymian Mejia.
“Tired as hell but I’m staying up for this!!!,” Christmas shared on Twitter yesterday. “Please when this shit drops sho[w] hella love and show your friends we worked very hard for like 12 hours shooting this ridiculousness.”
So, yeah. Leave a message at the tone. All 10 Michael Christmases are kinda busy.
