Having money is one of life’s greatest pleasures, but to some people, the art of getting paid is just a bit more sweeter than spending. The hustle is where the action is, & the action is where the passion lays. D.C. native Chris Allen touches on this notion for his new video, “Paid.”

Set to the backdrop of New York City & soundtracked to silky smooth, boom-bap production, “Paid” is probably my favorite song from Chris Allen to date. While his energy is a bit more lethargic on this one than usual, the laid back style is refreshing to hear & perfectly compliments the accompanying visuals. With a solid catelog of releases in 2018, it’s only a matter of time before the D.C. native gets his shine.

Check out the visuals for, “Paid” below and keep an eye on Chris Allen.

Washington D.C. is a place full of rich history and contemporary culture. With the DMV thriving in general, boasting artists like Jay IDK, Wale & current hometown hero, Goldlink, who has brought a lot of attention back to the Nation’s Capital. Already building a name for himself by having a notorious work ethic, D.C. native Chris Allen looks to be the next up & he checks in with his new video, “Headband.”

Directed by Davis Rohrer & Shoreline Films, “Headband,” is a highly self reflective song presented in a bass heavy, easy-to-process package that plays right into it’s ability to be replayed over and over. In the video, you see Chris hanging out in various spots around New York, getting active everywhere from rooftops to the Audiomack offices.

Sitting at 40K+ streams & already receiving playlist treatment, the sky is the limit for Allen & his potential hit. Check out the video above & be sure to keep an eye on Chris Allen.
