“CALIFORNIA BUDS”

Boston duo Blakheart Broadway follow up their controversial “Losing Control” ft. Killer Mike video this week with “California Buds”, a considerably more mellow offering albeit no less strange.

In fact, according to Nikki Broadway, this scene depicts a typical Blakheart Broadway recording session. This half of production team The Beat Bullies produced the track in tandem with Billion Beats. The visuals can again be attributed to Sev One. Suffice it to say, these guys like bunnies.
