Jack White offers Freedom At 21 sneak peek, directed by Hype Williams
On Thursday July 12, Jack White has released the first glimpse of his new video "Freedom At 21", coming out on Monday July 16th. The Hype Williams-directed film marks the third video from White's debut record Blunderbuss. The much-anticipated sneak peek clip offers a unique hip-hop/rock mash up that's sure to resonate throughout the entire film.
This is White's first collaboration with video director Hype Williams, best known for his work with hip-hop artists like Missy Elliott and 2Pac. Williams's recent clips include Nicki Minaj's 'Stupid Hoe' and Kanye West's 'All Of The Lights'. The clip begins with the caption "REV YOUR ENGINES" before cutting to scenes of White driving a neon green car and getting arrested. And though it's so short it definitely makes you wanna see the full version! Check out the teaser after the jump.
"Freedom At 21" is the third single from White's debut solo album Blunderbuss, which was released in April. The B-sides to the album's three singles, including White's cover of U2's "Love Is Blindness", were made available digitally for the first time on Tuesday (July 10).
