Def Jux recording artist Cage premiered his brand new Shia LaBeouf-directed video, "I Never Knew You," on MTV2's Unleashed on Monday (May 18), the first single from his long awaited Depart From Me album.

The new video is the directorial debut for actor Shia LaBeouf, who also appears in the video and narrates the powerful story of Cage's debut single. Filmed in February at various locations in downtown Los Angeles, the video simultaneously portrays a performance by Cage, a characteristically intense experience, while the story of "I Never Knew You" unfolds.

In addition to LaBeouf, the video also features cameo appearances from fellow labelmates and collaborators El-P, Aesop Rock, Yak Ballz, F. Sean Martin, and Alex Pardee.

MTV2, not only debuted the video, but have also leaked a free EP of the same title, I Never Knew You. It marks the first time that MTV has offered a full EP for download, only having released individual tracks in the past.

Cage and Shia LaBeouf will be hosting an episode of MTV2's "Subterranean" on Thursday (May 28), while Subterranean blog will feature multiple exclusive video interviews from the two as well.
