"Lavender" is a song released by Canadian jazz instrumental hip hop band BadBadNotGood (BBNG) as part of their 2016 album IV.
The music video to this version caused some controversy because of a scene depicting a mock assassination of U.S. President Donald Trump.
[4] Michelle Geslani, writing in Consequence of Sound, described the song as "a true hybrid of both BadBadNotGood and Kaytranada, highlighted by woozy, jazzy bits and synths that tend to growl and glow.
The video was directed by Fantavious Fritz and features BBNG band members playing a realistic game of Dungeons & Dragons.
When the DM returns, he takes a drink from his cup and hands the band members a gun, trying to force them to play a game of Russian roulette.
The music video ends with an advertisement for a Dungeon Master named John Dempsey located in the Greater Toronto Area.
The beginning of the video shows a clown family and follows the father (played by Michael Rapaport), who smokes weed while stressed.
