Premiering a new song today in the form of a lyric video is Reggae artist, Protoje. Titled “Stylin‘”, this was directed by Yannick Reid with shots by Nickii Kane, Art Direction by Taj Francis and features Kandi King. Great song here with a visual that is pleasing to the eye. A part that I really enjoyed was Protoje’s use of the Talk Box in the chorus. Enjoy the visuals, sing the lyrics and look out for Protoje’s 3rd studio album “Ancient Future” which is scheduled to be released in 2015.
