Earlier this month, when videos surfaced of a Kanye-related project being filmed in Prague, it was unclear whether the videos were related to Cruel Summer or to the rumored video for “No Church in the Wild.”  Now we know.

Though The Throne and Frank Ocean are absent from the video, fire, elephants, police brutality and civilian unrest take their places. Directed by Romain Gavras, the man behind M.I.A.’s controversial “Born Free” visuals, the video channels the anger and resentment of the Occupy movement and the UK protests of last year. Some people will attempt to connect the visuals of the video to radical beliefs on behalf of Kanye and Hov, but let’s be real: these two guys are millionaires who frequently remind people of their wealth. They are not radicals.  That being said, the video still has an interesting conceit. See it for yourself.

We’ve been watching The Throne for almost a year now and the monarchy has continued to earn our attention. Their most recent project is rumored to be a video for the recent single, “No Church in the Wild,” but could it be the movie Kanye’s said to be shooting for Cannes?

According to Not Quite Millionaires, the video is being filmed in Prague, Czech Republic and will be directed by French filmmaker Romain Gavras, director of M.I.A.‘s recent “Bad Girls” video and her controversial “Born Free” video.

Kanye and Jay-Z don’t make an appearance, but the videos are interesting nonetheless — a lot of fires burning and people running. Via Tommy Jay Media, here they are:
