Snoop Lion with Major Lazer - "Get Away"

That Snoop Lion Reincarnated album was... interesting. While I watched the documentary and understood Snoop's need and desire to hit Jamaica and reinvent himself as an older man, I just wasn't hugely into him as a reggae vocalist. No disrespect to him, just something about his voice. Working with Diplo, they really tapped into a roots/reggae thing, which worked... for good or ill. Something about "Get Away," which is billed as being with Major Lazer and possibly the closest we've seen as the ideal "Diplo x Snoop Dogg" track on this project. Whatever the case may be, the people at Machinima crafted a throwback RPG-style video game clip for this song, which makes the tune even that much cooler. Seeing 8-bit Snoop and Major Lazer characters flying around is awesome.
