E85

Fans of David Ayer's 'End of Watch' will feel right at home with the promo for 'E85', the new track from Don Toliver. Like the 2012 film starring Jake Gyllenhaal and Michael Pena, body cameras and dashboard footage throw viewers right into the thick of the action as armed police apprehend Toliver after a high-speed chase.

One cop appears to place Toliver in a chokehold, which, thanks to the first-person perspective, makes the audience feel complicit in the use of excessive force. It's over in a flash, but still bound to make viewers uncomfortable. The rest of the promo, however, leans more towards 'Grand Theft Auto' as the scope of the car chase is revealed and Toliver grants himself bail with help from above.

The song never reaches the heights of the visuals, to be honest, as Toliver raps: "On the highway and I'm thinkin' there ain't no rubber/On the highway with my significant lover." If he ever offers you a lift, check the seats first.
