Ease My Mind- Director's Cut

One of my most favorite groups I'd ever have the pleasure of directing.

Speech + family, and I, reunited for this clip from their second album, "Zingalamaduni". He decided on the same hairdo from our stint together on "Mr. Wendall". Worked perfectly.

If you look closely, there are a few "soon to discovered" celebrities - actor Dorian Missick ("Two Weeks Notice", "The Manchurian Candidate", "Lucky Number Slevin" and "Premium"), Phokus (musician/illustrator extraordinaire...), Nadirah Shakoor (an amazing songwriter and vocalist..., and dance instructor Terri Ajile Axam.

This was allegedly a bonus track on one of the import versions of "Zingalamaduni." (I can't find that version anywhere.) "Ease My Mind" was one of my favorite tracks from their sophomore set, and this is a worthy remix- check it out if you've never heard it, or even if you have:
