Dee-1 & Murs Tackle Colorism With Humor In ‘2 Dark Skin, 2 Light Skin’ Video

Oakland, CA – Most African Americans have found way their way in some sort of debate related to their skin tone at one point in their lives. Hip Hop vets Dee-1 and Murs have consolidated such an argument for their new video “2 Dark Skin, 2 Light Skin,” which is the second leading track behind “No Pictures Of Jesus” from their upcoming collaboration album.

Directed by Justin Marmostein of Marmo Films, the 90s throwback visual finds the two black brothers outlining their gripes with colorism law — all the while their blind dates are looking to align and stereotype their personalities with their body hues.
