KOOL A.D.'s new video for "Jaleel White" is a tightly cropped time-lapse portrait of Victor Vazquez' face directed by Weird Days, like D'angelo's "Untitled" without any pubic bone. Vazquez smokes a blunt and waggles his tongue while the song—named for the actor that played Urkel and taken from February's 19 mixtape—plays in the background. See an original drawing about the track by Vazquez below, then hang out with him this summer: On June 5th he's got an art show, featuring work that's "highly influenced by the COEXIST bumper sticker," at Poppington, "Damon Dash's newest downtown factory." In June he'll tour Europe and in July and August he'll join Run The Jewels, the duo of Killer Mike and El-P, on a tour of the US and Canada. Find details on all that below and for more intimate Victor moments, check out photographer Oliva Seally's recent portraits of the rapper.
