R. Kelly Brings the Summer Vibes in 'Backyard Party' Music Video

It's summer all year round.

In August, R. Kelly released “Backyard Party,” an ode to summer cookouts, late-night weekends, and hanging out with your friends. Two months later, he shares the visuals from the first single off his upcoming LP, Buffet.

In the video, R. Kelly’s mansion becomes the hot party spot for the day. Friends and family (who are decked out in “Family Reunion” tees) are enjoying themselves with various activities like playing cards and driving around in golf carts. Delicious meats are grilled on the barbecue, and there’s even a whole selection of food being passed around. It looks like a good time.

Chance the Rapper and BET Hip Hop Awards host Snoop Dogg also make cameos. You can listen to the audio of “Backyard Party” below, and watch the full video here.
