Yesterday, the self-proclaimed King of the Dancehall released a new video for his tune “Super Model,” and it’s no surprise that the only modesty in King Beenie’s video is the shabby rowboat he has filled with fly, half-naked women. The song is on Dre Skull’s Kling Klang riddim, which has already spawned videos from Popcaan (for “So We Do It”) and Tifa (for “Champion Bubbler.”)

Producer Khabir “Kabs” Bonner of Grillaras Productions just sent over the new video for “Hustlas (Redzilla Remix),” featuring the King of the Dancehall, Beenie Man, and the considerably lesser known Kantana. The tune itself is a bit of a departure from the roots vibes we’re used to hearing from Khabir/Grillaras, blending house and dancehall vibes—turns out the original riddim is a collaboration with the more club-minded Teetimus. Roli Brown’s video, meanwhile, brings some trippy visuals to match. Watch below:

Thirty-nine years ago today in Kingston, Anthony Moses Davis was born. To mark the occasion, we’ve dug out this never-before-seen image of Beenie, with his Audi SUV (someone else must have had the keys to his Bimma that day), by LargeUp creative director/co-founder Martei Korley, and six of our favorite videos from the King of Dancehall. Simma!
