Se è vero che stiamo vivendo un nuovo medioevo, allora Tommy Cash ha tutte le carte in regola per aspirare al trono. Un po’ come fa nel suo nuovo travolgente videoclip, diretto dalla fidata Anna Himma, da tempo collaboratrice e co-regista dei lavori precedenti del rapper estone, davanti ai quali Racked non sfigura. E non era certo impresa facile.
Il concept è un pastiche medievaleggiante dove si mescolano cappa e spada, fiabe rivisitate e coreografie a là Missy Elliot (dichiarata anche come ispirazione musicale) in un crescendo di sorprese continue e colpi di scena nonsense, dove tra risate e assurdità non mancano aspetti inquietanti e sinistri.
