What’s not to love about this new video for the “Hamilton Mixtape” single ”I Wrote My Way Out”? There’s Nas, Lin-Manuel Miranda and Dave East in black and white rapping on top of a New York City building! 

There’s a bunch of cute kids from East Harlem performing better than the adults!

That’s not to mention the classic Big Apple street scenes—old men playing dominos, a lady under the dryer at a Dominican hair salon, a meat-on-a-stick vendor grilling up his goods.
