NEW VIDEO: @Protoje – I & I

Posted on March 19, 2013March 19, 2013 by swadedavillain

Off the newly released “8 Year Affair” album Reggae singer Protoje released his music video for “I & I“. Directed by I & I & I (i’m guessing Protoje directed this), we see him and a few friends walking the streets and spreading messages and pamphlets out to people in efforts to help them learn about Marcus Garvey, Walter Rodney and Haile Selassie I. This video features cameos from Jah 9, Kabaka Pyramid, Chronixx and many others. As described by Protoje this was more than a video shoot, it was also a march that done in collaboration with author Dutty Bookman. Nice video, very clean quality and the song and idea were good ones. Check out the video below and share your thoughts in the comments section.

Posted on March 19, 2013 by swadedavillain

Today’s music video comes from singjay Markuss Simms. Titled “Sexy Body” and directed by Tommy Cannonville, we see the video start off with a woman complaining to her girlfriend about her man and planning to make a change at the club. The rest of the video comprises of Markuss dancing with a few girls in different scenes and money being thrown in the club. In a way I thought that given the lyrics of the song Markuss would be going after one girl in the video but this was not the case. Check out the video below and share your thoughts in the comments section.
