Hey everyone,
So, as promised, here's the video from Kister, Da Key and Manny Machete known as "Papeles". We had a blast working on this one since it involved some great cinematography, provided by our uber talented director David C. Diaz, stunts, courtesy of a falling audio guy we lovingly know as El Diablo as well as fake guns, money and some pretty realistic looking narcotics. Quick side note, we literally raided the kitchen cabinets in search of baking soda, cornmeal, pancake mix to fill in for the real stuff. Fun times.
The concept of the video was to start it like a movie telling the story of the crew, who've been pulled in for questioning from the police (played by Al Diaz, David Cruz and Jerry Broome in order of appearance) after trying to retrieve guns and contraband that were stolen from their prospective boss (played quite convincingly by Lorenzo Collado) during an early flashback scene. Here, the video kicks into full gangsta swag and in the end we get to see the twist of the running narrative.
Considering that we filmed this in exactly TWO locations, most people have never been able to tell otherwise, we're proud of the work and we're hoping to hook up with the guys from Dale Duro Records again and again. Gangster, yes. Nice guys, also yes.
We'll be back soon enough w/ clips from the video premiere, but for now, here's the video itself. Enjoy.
