The long awaited video from Mack, Ryan, and Zia Mohajerjasbi for “WINGS” has finally been released and premiered today on XXL. Yet another great look for some of my favorite artists and homies from Seattle. Great job fellas!
The long awaited video for Macklemore’s ode to Seattle and our hip-hop community is finally here, and as expected, Mack and director Zia Mohajerjasbi knocked it out the park. Shout to everyone involved in the song, video, and our scene. It was an honor to make a quick cameo in a clip that’s sure to be a town classic and I hope y’all enjoy it as much as I do.
“I know, it’s not the same, it never will be/
But my-my-my-my city’s filthy”
When we first premiered “HI-808” on our Cornerstone Mixtape, the homies Geo & Sabzi also mentioned to us that they shot a video for the song on location in Hawaii. A little later, I saw a rough cut of the video at the office (benefit of the day job…ScreenPlay/Fuzed Music building FTW) and now the final edit is here for the masses. And when I say masses, I mean it.
This video will be spinning in heavy rotation on MTVu all day and it will also be on the front page of MTVu.com. With Massive Monkees killing it on “America’s Best Dance Crew” last night, this is yet another great national look for the town via MTV.
To download the song and for more information about the Blue Scholars’ upcoming OOF! EP, check out their official site.
Oh…and I really want to go to Hawaii. Soon.
