For the “Respect the Art” video we brought it back home to Chicago. Scheme’s first video “Chicano” represented his home away from home, this one here represents where he was born and raised. Mostly shot in the neighborhood Scheme grew up in, the video is filled with nostalgic images, familiar faces, and iconic Chicago sites.
According to Scheme, the purpose of both the song and the video was to express that, “no matter how you choose to portray your craft, all I ask is that you respect the art.”
This video is special to me because it is my directorial debut with the Warlock, aka Tony Shane, on editing duties. Scheme and I worked on this video for quite some time, and after a lot of bumps on the road, we are happy to finally share this with the you guys. Check it out after the jump…
