Memphis rapper/post-punk musician/artist Gavin Mays, better known as Cities Aviv, likes doing more with less -- it's a defining quality of his music, which exists in the increasingly prominent intersection of the fringes of both hip-hop and punk. (Yeah, that phrase is a mouthful, but it's pretty hard to quite capture the sound otherwise, just listen to it.) The video for "Survival Fit," off this year's Your Discretion is Trust, continues with that theme -- the actual song doesn't even start until two minutes into the video, instead featuring the voice rapper Gita for the first chunk of time. Space out with the video for "Survival Fit" below.
