OTIS Video - Jay Z and Kanye West
Blow My High Video Premiere - K Street
Some of the most memorable and successful music videos haven’t involved luxurious cars, cruise ships, and expensive jewelry, but rather a deeper look into an artist’s personal life.
K Street’s new video for his hit single “Blow My High” achieves just that as the Boston bred emcee brings viewers back to a mid 90s type of vibe with shots of his illustrious city and scenes of him and fellow DC FAM member Suits the Role Model laying down their lyrics in the studio,.
Add to the video a young version of K Street listening to tracks as a child, then fast forward to a scene with the present day artist getting ready to record his next hit and you have the perfect recipe for proving to Nas another reason why Hip Hop is far from dead.
“Blow My High” is a dynamic track that showcases the upcoming artist’s versatile flow and is bound to be the next feel good jam of the summer out in Boston, so Jammin' 94.5 DJ's better have their rotations ready.
The fast paced rhythm of the song compliments K Street’s creative punch lines and charismatic delivery to perfection, as he breezes over the beat, delivering elaborate prophecies of him conquering the rap game with a Jay Z -like hustler’s aura surrounding him.
K Street’s major inspiration for this hit single was his struggle with bridging the gap between pop and hip-hop without losing his cherished street savvy.
However, don’t you dare make the mistake of trying to call it “hip pop.”
The single has already captured the ears of clubbers and street hustlers alike, while allowing DC FAM’s prodigal son to stay true to himself and his urban persona at the same time.
“Blow My High” further proves that nobody, haters and executives alike, will ever blow K’s musical high or shine.
Call his style on the track suede, because the ambitious rapper has already mastered what most rappers refer to as swagger.
