The video is a great way to better aquaint yourself with some of Chicago’s brightest young stars and a must watch for any RH regular. Read THEMpeople’s statement about the video below and listen for snippets from the groups upcoming beat tape, Smoke Breaks.
This is the first of a series depicting our experience producing and running a lab working with artists on a level thats much deeper than music. The visual is a collage of handheld footage accompanied by voice over starting with one of Chicagos illest art circles SAVEMONEY. Many people lack the understanding of true origins in culture and we have a tendency to unify our view of a person based on how the hype defines them. Collectives like SAVEMONEY create from a strong musical foundation built on passion and brotherhood. In this piece Vic Spencer speaks on the origins of SAVEMONEY from a more interpersonal light. The collage also features music from THEMpeoples up n coming beat tape Smoke Breaks.
