SHREM'S BIGGIES BUT GOODIES BASKET: "IN FOR THE KILL" - Shamir

The multi-talented Shamir drops another video and another single from his remarkable debut album "Ratchet". While still feeling hyper and stunned following Bailey's vigorous and youthful performances at Electric Picnic the other weekend, "In For The Kill" comes in as a very special treat indeed. Right next to "Vegas" and the anthemic "On The Regular" among the most accomplished compositions on Shamir's extraordinary first full length record. The video which has just premiered on ROOKIE, was directed by Anthony Sylvester.
