Nikola Tesla Drops The Beat

The Cuckoo feat. Lil' Nog, B-Watt, C Prizzle, Serious Sirois, & El Sol

Tesla, at the height of his fame and acclaim, introduces his new idea for the radio at a party. He speaks to his adoring crowd, but his unique connection with Kat, his friend/publicist, is the only thing coming into focus.

FREQUENCY

Tesla, an eager young student, can't help but see the flaws in direct current, invented by the coolest dude ever, Thomas Edison. Tesla gets bombarded by all sorts of distractions as he tries to focus on the seemingly impossible: finding a better way.

BREAKTHROUGH

The beat never stops thumping and the lights never stop flashing: it's Tesla's utopian future. But is it too good to be true?
