2015 started off with a bang when the Diplomats appeared on Funkmaster Flex’s radio show on Hot 97 and announced that they were officially reunited with plans for a new mixtape and national tour. Aside from the crew’s on-air freestyle session, the first taste of product we got from Harlem’s finest was the street single, “Have My Money.”
Well, it took two months, but we finally have an accompanying visual to go with the track. Directed by Clifton Bell and shot in black and white, the video begins with footage from the aforementioned Hot 97 appearance when they announced the tour, which kicks off March 13 in New Haven, Conn. The Dip’s are dressed in the flyest fits, bejeweled and oozing of their unmistakable uptown New York City swagger.
With scenes shot in front of a mural, a bar and chandeliers galore, Cam’ron and company decide to keep it classy. They leave the entourage of goonies at home and instead surround themselves with a few attractive women, making for a pretty dope visual. Not too shabby at all, if we must say.
