Escape to North Korea: US rappers film music video in North Korea

North Koreans are unlikely ever to see rappers Pacman and Peso’s “Escape to North Korea”, as internet access is illegal and state-owned radio and television is tightly controlled.

It shows the pair at Pyongyang landmarks including the Arch of Triumph and Grand Monument, while seemingly unconcerned soldiers patrol in the background.

Their lyrics barely mention the country, instead talking about their upbringing and ambitions to dominate the music scene.

Peso, 20, whose real name is Dontray Ennis, and Pacman, 19, whose real name is Anthony Bobb, raised more than $10,000 for the unusual project through crowdsourcing website Kickstarter.
