When I got the track from YC Beatzo I knew I wanted to record a hyped up aggressive type of song. Once I recorded the record we had to figure out visuals to match it. So through a few searches on the Internet I found the neon basement located in southside Jamaica Queens where 50 Cent grew up. It was the perfect match so I teamed up with my long time video director Ken Honore. We probably were at the location for maybe three hours and we did about maybe 20 to 30 shots throughout the different parts of the Neon basement, edited it and we released it! The video received a lot of good reviews throughout my social media and a lot of good feedback from everybody that I sent it to and they shared it as well. Between the bright colors, the intensity of the song, the wardrobe changes, the constant movement, it matched the record exactly and that’s what we set out to do!
Since I teamed up with Miami super producers Cool and Dre in 2022 when I recorded the Chestnut X James Street album I was able to get another song produced by Cool and Dre. I will be releasing a new album called The Dreamz Project in mid August which is an RnB \AfroRap type of album which has a variety of songs geared towards women. As the listening session for this album approaches, I anticipate a good crowd and so far the responses have been tremendous with the people that I let listen to some of the new songs. Merch will be available for this album, visuals and show dates will be announced!
