Rapper Da L.E.S teamed up with One Direction star Liam Payne and US artist Greg Yuna
this week for a 1920's gangster-themed project that brought traffic to a halt in the heart of New York City.

The trio hit the streets of the city looking dapper in their suits and parked a vintage car in the middle of the road for a photoshoot.

In a behind-the-scenes video, Greg said the entire project was shot in just one take. He also paid tribute to Da L.E.S, calling him a "superstar from South Africa".

The rapper couldn't contain his excitement, taking to Twitter to share how he and the "gangs of New York" shut down the streets.

Check out more snaps from the project.
