RedRum is the Orlando-based duo of Red Eye and Racks, who together deliver straight-up fiery Hip-Hop in their new video/single, “Pitchfork.”

The chilling and lyrically sharp track stems from their forthcoming EP, Murder In Reverse, and serves to highlight the multiple talents of its creators. In addition to delivering hard-hitting verses alongside Red Eye, Racks also produced the entirety of the project. And on the exceptionally haunting “Pitchfork,” he and his collaborator spit acidic rhymes aimed at their enemies and each bar is bursting with clever punchlines and quotable boasts.

We may actually get see one of those enemies in the single’s visuals, which were directed by the duo along with Angus Prospere, and edited by OUC Films. The video centers on a well-to-do man getting ready to spend some private time with his favorite lady. At least, that’s how things appear at first, and things quickly go south during their encounter when another guest joins the party.

Even the hardest-working hustlers need to know how to cut loose, and Choo E Lou demonstrates exactly how to do that in his new video for “RedEye,” a grimy banger produced by Dee Aye.

The Harlem rapper’s vice-filled lyrics set the tone for the exploits he enjoys with his crew in these sharp visuals directed by Megadon. Whether he’s puffing on that loud or guzzling bottle after bottle of Ciroc and Henny, Lou makes it clear that he knows how to unwind after spending hours upon hours in the studio. And, really, that’s the point of it all: making your eyes bloodshot both from partying ‘til you collapse (as Lou proclaims) and killing it in the booth.

“RedEye” stems from Lou’s upcoming mixtape, PPF: I’m Always Gettin’ It, which is due out soon.  Til then, peep the visual below and feel free to drop your thoughts.
