Rock meets hip-hop, with a little bit of rage, in the thumping video for “Push Em” from drummer Travis Barker and rapper Yelawolf.

It was shot over a couple shows during Yelawolf’s current Slumerican tour and a day drive with Yela and I in my ’64 Rivi.”

The record can be found on the duo’s collaborative Psycho White EP, due November 13.
