Fresh off the controversial Nas video, Rik Cordero and Three/21 Media jump back into the arena with a new clip for our favorite on-the-rise rapper, Wale. He’s teamed up with Gbenga Akinnagbe (Chris from the Wire), to make a kidnapping/hijacking bit loosely themed off of Being John Malkavich. This vid is for the jam “Artistic Integrety” from his Mixtape about Nothing, which if you haven’t downloaded yet (it’s free), you are foolish. Check it.
Here’s another bit about how they hooked up to get this made. Apparently Rik just contacted him out of the blue and was like, “Hey, here’s a treatment for one of your songs, let’s film it.” Now that’s how you get things done. No questions, you just do it. I guess it also helps to have a resume of Rik’s caliber backing you up, but if your idea is solid people will take notice. Get that Integrity in ya!
