Mike D has released a video for ‘Secrets Pts. I & II’ from his debut album, ‘Thank You’, released August 28th via Capitol Records. The video was directed by longtime Beastie Boys collaborator and friend Ari Marcopoulos and features live footage from Mike D 5D’s recent sold-out show at New York’s Knockdown Center.
Mike D says of Marcopoulos, whose relationship with Mike stretches back to his days photographing Beastie Boys circa ‘Check Your Head’ and ‘Ill Communication’: “He became part of our creative family. He was just embedded in our whole world… Personally, I love how he is committed to not only making the work, but releasing it. Sometimes tirelessly self-publishing his art. It’s inspiring to me. It’s all we can do as people that make stuff: show up, keep trying things and putting it out into the world.”
