If you ever wondered what a South African #zefspionage would look like, not to worry. Jack Parrow teamed up with Freshlyground to create a very thrilling and action-packed music video for their latest collaboration Army of One for November’s Sony Xperia Mashlab on 5fm.
Past Xperia results have seen the likes of Al Bairre team up with P.H. Fat and David Kramer pair with Toya Delazy after being nominated by listeners and then provided with an audience-voted theme.
Jack Parrow and Freshlyground went full force when they were requested to create a secret agent themed song and even created the secret agent alter-egos: Jan Bont (Jack Parow) and Geldpenni (Zolani Mahola). The rest of Freshlyground features as well.
Here’s an excerpt from the track, detailing the life of Jan Bont:
Fought in the Gulf War and Sierra Leone,
Stopped the war in Congo all on his own,
He invented the Walkman, set up Kanye with Kim,
Rambo and Terminator were based on himSo if you scared of the dark or just scared, f*kken punt
dial 1-800-p**sklap en Jan sal jou vind.
The chorus? Sang by Geldpenni, she is in full support of the 007 agent:
Tell me your secrets
I’ll be there when you call
Call in every favor. Honey, that’s the way the cards fall
Our sweet tomorrow is tumbling down
Army of One
You are the chosen one
