"US Placers" is the debut single from Child Rebel Soldier, a band consisting of Lupe Fiasco, Kanye West and Pharrell Williams. It contains a sample from Thom Yorke's song "The Eraser." The song was #43 on Rolling Stone's list of the 100 Best Songs of 2007.[1] In December 2007, a noncommissioned music video to the song caught attention on the internet, and even features West's engineer and mixer, "Plain Pat".

Vashtie said "I wasn't commissioned to do it(Make the video), so I spent my own dough to make it. I wanted to make a video for this song because I was obsessed with both the original Thom Yorke version and the Kanye West mixtape version. It was a lot of fun to make. Most of the clothing is mine, like little Pharrells whole wardrobe. The props are mine, like the Brooklyn Machine Works bike and the Supreme "Last Supper Decks". That's actually Plain Pat in the video, Kanye's A&R."
