Music video

The music video for "Keep It Movin'" was released on the internet August 8, 2007. The video starts with Hip-Hop Keke waiting for the subway train to arrive. Performance scenes are shown in between then. Cool/Laid Back Keke is on the train and sings with the chorus. Then the train stops to pick up Hip-hop Keke who sings the first verse. The next chorus is shown with both Cool/Laid Back Keke and Hip-Hop Keke dancing to a routine in the streets. Then near the end of the chorus the subway stops and Cool/Laid Back Keke and Hip-hop Keke meet Skater Keke, who sings the second verse. Then the third chorus is Cool/Laid Back, Skater, and Hip-Hop Keke dancing in the streets at a block party.

Meech does his verse with all three versions of Keke dancing with him. Throughout the video Glamorous Keke is dancing and singing with a bright amaranth pink colored backdrop.
