Dope, dope video from the incredible and extremely versatile Sy Smith.

In true 2009 techno-fashion, this video was conceived & created across the seas via the internet. Love the song and unique video. The song is from her 2008 album, Conflict.

Be sure to support and follow Sy throughout SyberSpace, MySpace , FaceBook, on American Idol, in a city near you or on tour with Chris Botti.

Check out more from Sy after the jump, including the classic, “My Story“, from Nicolay and her latest single, the beautiful “Fly Away With Me“.

Quincy Jones:
“I am absolutely devastated at this tragic and unexpected news. For Michael to be taken away from us so suddenly at such a young age, I just don’t have the words. Divinity brought our souls together on ‘The Wiz’ and allowed us to do what we were able to throughout the ’80s. To this day, the music we created together on Off The Wall, Thriller and Bad is played in every corner of the world and the reason for that is because he had it all…talent, grace, professionalism and dedication. He was the consummate entertainer and his contributions and legacy will be felt upon the world forever. I’ve lost my little brother today, and part of my soul has gone with him.”
