Anderson .Paak shares ‘Lockdown’, a star-studded video addressing police brutality

It features Syd, Jay Rock, Andra Day, SiR and Dominic Fike and arrives on Juneteenth – the day commemorating the end of slavery in the US.

Anderson .Paak has returned with a new song named ‘Lockdown’. The video is directed by Dave Meyers and sees .Paak wrestle with  ongoing police brutality in a global pandemic.

There’s cameos in the new visuals from TDE’s Jay Rock and SiR as well as The Internet’s Syd, Andra Day and Dominic Fike.

The video ends by paying respect to a number of black men and women that have lost their lives at the hands of police officers in America. There’s a note at the end of the video stating that a donation was made to various groups fighting injustice and all cast and crew salaries were donated to three different movements.
