New Video: Bei Maejor Featuring Waka Flocka Flame, ‘Lights Down Low’

Being an unapologetic, regressive rap fan I haven't really been paying much attention to R&B newjack Bei Maejor. But after putting this Flocka-assisted banger "Lights Down Low" on repeat for half the day, I'm pretty much sold on the dude. I should mention that Bei Maejor isn't much of newbie: He's gone the somewhat traditional route, spending close to the last 10 years being a Grammy-nominated songwriter and producer for other R&B heavies like Ne-Yo and Trey Songz. But now he's signed his own artist deal and is set to be the next, well, Ne-Yo or Trey Songz.

All those days in the studio have paid off, though, because this crossover jam is good -- his hook is catchy, the drums are hard and heavy but fast, and when the horns come in I get delicious Cash Money flashbacks that have me wishing for a new Big Tymers album. Maejor kind of has a thing for these big and fast rap tunes: He produced Iggy Azalea and T.I.'s excellent "Murda Bizness" and co-produced (with Drake hitmaker Boi-1da) Soulja Boy's silly but undeniably awesome "Speakers Going Hammer" whose synth stabs owe a little something to Mannie Fresh as well.

So the "Lights Down Low" video: After a friendly game of basketball, Bei Maejor and Waka Flocka head back to the trap for an old-fashioned house party. Once they've all packed up their Jordans on the court, Bei scoops his girl in a Jeep Wrangler (LOL) from underneath a freeway overpass (I guess), and they head to the party. Then it's all red cups, sick lens flares (bruh) and Flocka maintaining his monopoly on rapping behind chain-link fences in videos. FLEX.
