We've still got Danny Seth's Perception LP pumping out of the office stereo—and can you honestly blame us? The London-born, L.A.-residing rapper released a quality project this year, with the free release ushering him nicely onto hip-hop's global stage. Kicking the project off in April with the cinematic video for "I Arise Because," Danny now follows that up with an equally well-done visual for "T.I.O.T.E.," which is yet another star play on Perception. The man continues to outdo himself.

"This visual plays as a continuation from my previous track, 'I Arise Because,'" Seth said over email. "It starts with me arriving from the desert, but follows the journey of the boy with the blood. We follow his journey, as he backtracks through this club trying to remember why he has blood on his hands. When he enters the bathroom, he has a breakdown, remembering that something has happened."

"When he wakes up, we find him in a small room by myself; the character watches me as I perform, but seeing me covered in blood, really makes him think," he continued. "So he leaves and discovers the body he harmed, and as he walks away he bumps back into me. The metaphor is that if you do something terrible, you'll have to live with it for the rest of your life. Time is of the essence." Watch the mini-movie above.
