Mr Vegas’s "Bruk It Down" is coming back at you with a tropical, uptempo music video premiere on VEVO including a special appearance from the Caribbean Queen, the 'Roll It Gal' herself, Alison Hinds. From the kitchen in Trinidad, to a traffic stop in Jamaica, the beach party in Barbados and back to the operating room in New York it's evident the “Bruk It Down” dance is too contagious to be contained!

Opening with a cameo from Jamaica’s top radio disc jock, DJ Bambino, watch as the dance epidemic spreads across the islands. Jamaica's #1 dance crew, Dance Xpressionz, show us how its done before passing the vibe to a Caribbean carnival dancer who Bruk It Down in full road march attire. Even the Caribbean Queen of Soca can't help but Bruk It Down on the shores of Barbados with Mr Vegas at her side. Directed by Jamaican award winning video director Jay Will (Game Over / A Creative Source), Bruk It Down puts a never-ending party spin on the summer anthem spreading around the world.

"The video features a variety of personal versions of the dance style," says Jay Will. "We show different women from different walks of life all sharing a common ground with this infectious dance tune."

For Alison Hinds the chemistry with Mr Vegas was crucial. "I thoroughly enjoyed working with Mr Vegas on the song and the video shoot," says Hinds. "He is so much fun and had me laughing the whole time we were filming. I love to laugh so that just made the shoot so much more fun. I know we will work together again in the not so distant future & I eagerly look forward to that time."

And just when you’ve had enough of a workout, don't miss the conclusion, which includes a bonus sneak video peek of Mr Vegas’s dancehall bubbler "Party Tun Up", a song co produced with Suko of Ward 21 and Teetimus for MV Music.
