BY Alex HudsonPublished Feb 23, 2011

Last month, when East Coast hip-hop fixture Classified (aka Luke Boyd) announced that he would be releasing a new LP called Hand Shakes and Middle Fingers, he promised to drop a video for the single "That Ain't Classy." Now, the veteran rapper has unveiled the clip.

The video shows Classified dropping rhymes while standing in the middle of of an expansive warehouse. It's a flashy clip, containing plenty of fire and sparks, not to mentioned some fancy camerawork and lots of quick cuts. It ends with the MC backed by a string section and a slew of percussionists, who provide a lush musical backdrop as Classified raps about staying grounded despite his success.

Hand Shakes and Middle Fingers drops on March 22 via Sony. Read up on the album and check out Classified's upcoming tour dates here.
