Music Video – I’m Around

This song is from my latest album, Perseverance. I have to admit that this is in my top 3 from the album. The energy of this song is crazy and SHELLZ once again came through like a champ to deliver verses I honestly had trouble competing with. It seems like every time me and him team up its certain to be a banger. Originally my plan was to repeat my part of the hook twice and that would be the whole chorus. However, once SHELLZ laid his vocals there was an ad-lib portion where he was just screwing around saying the “I’ma-ruh I’ma-ruh” part. It was too good to chop out so I threw it in the hook and BAM, pure gold. Me and him have been making music together for over 10 years now. 10 YEARS. Been rapping together since high school. So this song was especially fitting for both of us in the fact that neither of us are willing to give up the music and we will always be around when everyone else is resigning.

The video was a blast to shoot. Another rapper we’ve been making jams with for over a decade, Boss Taylor (the third guy you see in this video), helped us out by working the camera for a lot of these shots. We’re all Bryan High alumni so when we saw the Viking wall we knew we had to take advantage of that location. The other shots were done at Tanglewood Park in Bryan and Blinn College parking lot. My favorite shot is the one of me and SHELLZ back-to-back as the camera cruises around us. We’ve had eachother’s backs in this rap game for so long now and that shot really put that into visual form.

I hope all of you love this one as much as I do! If you like it then please buy the song on iTunes or Amazon and share this video with your friends.

Music Video – Big Hush

This track is the first song on my latest album, Perseverance. There isn’t a meaningful background to it other than me just once again talking about my love for making this music and my determination in reaching success with it. I’m proud of my delivery and I think the song has a lot of energy.

The video was shot at none other than Dj Cranium Boy’s house and he’s the man behind the camera. As you know we only shoot $0 budget videos, so we did an impromptu scouting for a location and found it right above our head. It turned out to be one of the coolest locations I’ve used in a video so far. Of course, I got to stand still so the danger for me was minimal. Cranium Boy took all the risk by walking around me with a camera. One of the best things about it is the fact that I say “Scream my name through the top of this place” but I’m outside. That would imply that you’d have to scream pretty damn loud, lol. Check it out and see what you think! If you like it then please buy the song on iTunes or Amazon and share this video with your friends.

Music Video – Battering Ram

This song is the hidden track on Always The Quiet Ones. I’m not telling you where it’s hidden so please just buy the album to find out lol. The concept is simple: the Battering Ram that I hold is my music, and every song or album I make is just another swing against the door of the rap game.

I know I’m not a perfect artist or even a great one, but I feel like I improve with every project. I feel like I just keep on making impact with the Rap Game door and eventually that thing is going to give way and let me in (“Yeah it took a few ‘hits’ but the wood is split”). This is where persistence pays off as well, I’ve seen so many people say they want to be rappers. They try for a bit and eventually give up when things don’t materialize quickly (“Hell I’ve been standing outside for so long, all the other people in line have gone home.”). There’s also the matter of being so deep in this pursuit now that I’m not going to turn back until something big happens (“I done worked too hard, done too much, I’m not giving up spreading Big Hush”).

The video was a blast to make. This one was the first video I’ve made with an actual concept and story that plays off the song. Big thanks to Cranium Boy yet again for helping me plot the video and film it. Not to mention his role as the Rap Game that’s trying to keep me out. We couldn’t think of a better way to show that he was the Rap Game so at the last second we wrote “Rap Game” on his t-shirt with a sharpie lol. Hey, it worked. One thing we were both proud of was the “Oh I see what they did there” moment at the end when I put the chair back under the door knob. This was to imply that now that I’m in the Rap Game I’ll have to defend my place against the next artist coming up to takeover. Enjoy the video, download the album, spread the word!

Music Video – I Work For It

Well here’s numero uno in a new series I’m starting called “Song, Video, Story.” I want to kind of breakdown my songs so you can get in my head a little bit and understand more about the music and where I’m coming from. Then you can watch the video, lol.

This song is called “I Work For It” from my album “Always The Quiet Ones.” If you’ve listened to ANY of my music then you know by now I’m a working man. I put in my 40 hours a week just like everyone else and I try to make this rap career happen in the extra hours leftover (“I’m a working man by day, and a rapping man by night”). The bulk of this song is dedicated to that, working for a living and surviving paycheck to paycheck (“I’m on that payday hustle, you can laugh but I make my dough”). But it also applies to my attitude toward everything I do, because I work hard for anything that I need or want.

The hook is very simple and it was supposed to be, I wanted it to be a plain and simple anthem that summed things up in one sentence. It was also a way to just stick it in the face of everyone that thinks you can’t be a normal working stiff and make rap music (“Let me see respect get shown, for every single person on the job”). So it’s partly my aggravation toward the stereotype that somehow still exists, which paints all rap music as a “street hustlers only” world.

But this song is for everyone. Blue collar, white collar, hustlers, strippers, cashiers, waiters…EVERYONE that works for what they have (“Any angle, any avenue, if it’s something I can do then I do it for the revenue”).

So that’s it. As far as the video goes we were granted access to a pretty badass location under a building on the campus of Texas A&M University for those underground shots. As usual the one and only Cranium Boy provided some great camera work and even some acting (notice how well he throws water at cameras). My favorite part is the time lapse sunset at the beginning, I filmed that down on the Seawall in Galveston, Texas. Oh and fyi, all of my videos are shot with an HD flip cam. So if you’re impressed then there ya go, if NOT then there ya go! That’s it for this SVS. Look out for the future ones to come and enjoy the video!

Big Hush featured in Bawsmann’s “How You Love That”

Check out this music video for Bawsmann’s new song “How You Love That.” I was proud to be a part of the song and even more proud to have my first crack at directing a music video for someone else. It was nice to spend more time behind the camera than in front of it haha. This song is about not needing big money or fancy cars to still impress girls or be “the man.” Enjoy!
