Common Market – Trouble Is (video)
(look at Grynch gettin’ his cameo on…well done sir!)
Brand new video from some of the finest local talent here in Seattle, RA Scion & Sabzi, collectively known as Common Market. I’ll let them describe the visuals:
”Trouble Is” tells the story of a vagrant farmer’s hardship in a town where the locals call into question his intentions and work ethic. The video captures this tension with unmistakably rustin and southern imagery as the first scene opens with a fiery sermon delivered from the pulpit of a dusty Baptist church. The farmer, played by the emcee RA Scion, is aggressively pursued by a town mob, first driven out of town over distrust and distaste, then back again for the purpose of assimilation by force. The video takes a curious turn in the final scene, ultimately leaving the viewer in the position of the town-folk to question the farmer’s motivation.
Shout to Zia Mohajerjasbi, who continues to direct excellent pieces. If you missed RA on Sound Session a few weeks ago, peep it here.
Seattle people: catch CM along with People Under The Stairs and Shawn Jackson on Sunday at King Cobra. And cop that Tobacco Road asap’ers.
