New York City-based duo Ninjasonik brings a house full of pain in their latest video. The video is for their song “Jump Around,” and the track samples the iconic House of Pain song of the same name.
If ya’ll don’t remember, the original video featured plenty of bagpipes. Those are pretty much gone in this remake. Instead we see Ninjasonik — who consists of Jah-Jah and Telli — just rocking out in one of the craziest NYC parties you’ll ever see.
Vice recently premiered the track. They also sat down with the duo, where they talked about a number of things.
When asked about “Jump Around,” here’s what they said:
“Jah-Jah: It was a homage pretty much. “Jump Around” is a classic song, and we brought our Ninjasonik classic party twist to it.
Telli: We always did covers in our set from Bad Brains’ “Attitude” to Fugazi-Waiting Room. I was like Jah, “Let’s cover ‘Jump Around,’” so we did it, and it went off crazy! Our DJ, DJ Ak Spiver, was like, “Y’all should just say it over the original lyrics,” and I thought, Word! People don’t really do covers anymore. That’ll be dope. I brought the idea to Traptain Morgan, and he remade the beat. We shot the video over the course of three Sundays at our Chocolate Sundays party we host with our homey Joel at the Flat, a bar that our homeboy Johnny Siera from the Deathsets owns in Bushwick.”
