After bringing in Joey Bada$$ for the dope “Black & White” video, Jared Evan & Statik Selektah enlist Action Bronson for the conflicted and soulful “Pro Create.” Bronson enters Evan’s wistfully romantic world–“thinking this love is only seasonal”–but stays himself–“I’m still fuckin, ass like an onion.” He seems to be addressing the same baby mama from “The Madness” and “Tapas,” but this time with more tortured focus. Evan relates laying down his woman to laying down a track, wooing her with just his voice and M-Audio keys. “We could put it all on tape, right here / why don’t we just procreate what we hear?” he asks her in the Rik Cordero-directed clip. Evan & Selektah’s full-length collaboration, Boom Bap & Blues is available now at iTunes. You should get it. Watch below and get convinced.
