We are excited to premiere this visual and we are positive you’ll enjoy! Toronto rapper, MAZZI 500 takes a nostalgic look at his past in debut music video, “Swervin” in anticipation of his upcoming project, The Seizure which is dropping July 16, 2018. “Swervin,” directed by Telesca, represents more than its grooving beat and catchy hook.  For MAZZI, it is a reflection on a simpler time in his past. A time he says many hip-hop enthusiasts across all generations can relate to.  A time where youthful arrogance and ambition fueled the hustle and a pursuit of fame and wealth

The video is all “about speaking my truth,” says MAZZI.  It is raw and with its sobering use of neutral color and urban imagery, creates an honest representation of youth life and culture in hip-hop.

When asked about the music video MAZZI says, “This song to me represents the days when we didn’t give a fuck. Sub-textually speaking of drinking and driving. Filled with arrogance a lust for fast money. We were relentless. We had an abundance of passion, aggresion and we did what we wanted without thinking of the consequence.”
