American producer, DJ Khaled finally reached 100 per cent of preparations with his Khaled Khaled album, and to no surprise, the project is turning heads around the world.

Have y’all even checked out We going Crazy, which features American artistes H.E.R and hip-hop trio Migos?

A dope collaboration if asked and kudos to H.E.R for blessing the chorus melodious single with her angelic voice.

Seriously though, listening to the song without the visuals, you wouldn’t really appreciate the production, however, the music video for We Going Crazy—released on Thursday (May 6)—has already racked 1.9 million streams on YouTube.

First of all, Khaled Khaled and We Going Crazy by extension highlight Jamaica very positively.

The video began with CGI-esque visuals of an epic yacht explosion, where DJ Khaled and H.E.R apparently escaped on jet skis and ended up on the island of Jamaica.

Rightly so, the artistes landed on an island of paradise.

Not only did her white, sandy beaches and translucent waters get a share of the spotlight, but We Going Crazy also showed off several shots of lush vegetation, natural waterfalls and rivers, which further complimented Jamaica’s beauty.

Can I just say? H.E.R looks very much at home alongside DJ Khaled who is a self-proclaimed Jamaican.

Jamaica is definitely the island to ‘go crazy’, and as the unofficial celebrity playground of the Caribbean, that’s exactly the interpretation of this video.

Hold up!

Here comes the introduction of Migos in the video, who lavishly sat around a table filled with delicacies and gold, in a cave amongst H.E.R, DJ Khaled and a skeleton, where they discovered true treasure.

Migos, their own brotherhood, has such a captivating presence as a group, as their sounds complement each other.

The entire video transitioned well from a head-rocking jam to you vibing and jumping like an actual entertainer, rapping!

We Going Crazy in its entirety seems almost like hip-hop’s acceptance of Jamaican culture and we love to see it.
