South African genre-defying duo Dirty Paraffin pay homage to the boss of weekdays, Friday, in their new video for "Papap! Papap!." This bass-heavy electronic tune messes with raps about "misbehavin" and parades all the fresh looks in South Africa (young folks there are on some nother level). Dirty Paraffin are a visual/performance art outfit that hail from Durban, but "crossed paths in eGoli, the capital of Africa" (haha AKA Johanesburg). Catch the video interview they did with The Fader in 2010, here and visit their dynamic tumblr, here.
