Despite causing chaos and destruction, supervillains are usually characters with tragic, sometimes traumatic origins: escaped mutants, desperate criminals, and the mentally troubled occupy comic book pages and IMAX screens. It’s the latter archetype that Toronto spitter Raz Fresco seems to portraying in his video for aptly-named new single “Flows.”

Purporting to be footage from a top-secret, MK Ultra-ish government initiative called “Project Flows,” the Zac Facts-directed video has Raz tied up in a straitjacket as lab coat-wearing types conduct tests on him. I don’t know what they’re checking for, but if it’s rapping ability then they should just listen to the song, as Raz brings his technical style in ample reserve here. Watch the “Flows” video above.

Phil has never actually been that big into superhero stuff. He’s on Twitter.
