Jack White has unveiled an exclusive first look at 'Freedom at 21,' the third video from his universally acclaimed debut record Blunderbuss (Third Man/Columbia). 'Freedom at 21' is directed by Hype WIlliams, whose trailblazing 1990s work with 2Pac, The Notorious B.I.G. and Missy Elliott defined the modern hip hop visual aesthetic--and whose more recent clips for Kanye West and Nicki Minaj expanded it that much further.

For his first interpretation of a Jack White song, Williams infuses his signature style with elements of classic American Grindhouse--the result being a clip that defies and smashes the conventions and boundaries of both the hip hop and rock video worlds.
