When Big K.R.I.T. decided that he wanted to shoot a video for his song “Praying Man,” the Mississippi-born emcee knew exactly who he wanted to be behind the camera.

K.R.I.T. put the word out to his Twitter followers that he wanted legendary filmmaker Spike Lee to direct the video for “Praying Man” and shortly thereafter, it appeared that K.R.I.T. had gotten his guy.

“We’re Gonna Try And Do A Prayin’ Man Short Film.Thanks For All Tweets Getting Us Together.Peace Yo,” he added.
