WATCH IN 4K ULTRA HD
One evening last summer I was walking through Union Square, in New York City, and I met some talented young artists called, The Dope Rebels. I listened to their demo and felt very inspired. Memories filled my mind from 90’s hip hop groups like Tribe Called Quest, Souls of Mischief, Mobb Deep; and all the great music videos I had seen growing up watching MTV.
Immediately I had an urge to make a throwback music video for Slyy Coop’s debut song the “The Jump Off”. I felt that they needed a vintage look to homage the great videos of hip hop past. With such passion and dedication from these new and up-and-coming artists, I shared their vision to bring their style of hip hop dedication to a larger audience.
