Music tends to go through cycles, with one genre dominating, then another. Rap music appears to be heading back to the top of popular music. It has already been a phenomenal year of rap album releases from artists like Jay Z, Drake and Kanye, and now pop stars are tapping rappers more frequently to boost their way into popular culture. Skylar Grey gives us the latest Pop-Rap mash-up video, “Back From The Dead,” which features Big Sean and Travis Barker. According to globalgrind.com:

“Skylar Grey releases new visuals for her single, ‘Back From The Dead,’ featuring Big Sean and Travis Barker off her Eminem-produced album, Don’t Look Down.In the black and white video, the pop singer-songwriter strolls through a museum filled with skeleton figures depicting past lovers as she sings, “I mourn the loss of you sometimes, and pray for peace within.”

Big Sean makes his appearance in multiple scenes wearing all white for his solo performance, and also features him and Skylar in a duet performance scene. Skylar Grey’s “Don’t Look Down” album was released in July and can be found on iTunes. Check out the “Back From The Dead” video above and give us your thoughts.
