The first video released from mix-master RJD2‘s forthcoming album, The Clossus, takes the age-old “bull in a china shop” metaphor and runs wild with it. “Let There Be Horns” features a day in the life of a manic-depressive, pill-popping Minotaur who can’t stand his job, obsesses over his co-worker, and ends up going on a tirade in his local antique shop while the shop owner (portrayed in a cameo by RJ himself) roots on a soccer game unaware of the destruction. The story ends on a bit of a cliff-hanger. Sequel maybe? Only time will tell. Check out a whole mess of RJD2 tour dates below.
