Coming off his The Paradox EP, UK singer Jacob Banks gets creatively grimey in his new video “Monster.” Telling the story of a cold-hearted robbery, we see Banks performing in a parking garage surrounding by presumably dead bodies hanging out of a car trunk and chalk outlined on the ground. Filming the video in one take (and on the fly), the guerilla style visual proves to have been worth taking the risk to capture. According to Banks,  the video aligned with the song perfectly as it spoke more so to a shift in his life: “The song came about when I was going through a phase of understanding that sometimes you have to take what you want, and as much as I don’t like it, sometimes it’s my only option.”

When she’s not laying down background vocals on Bobby Shmurda’s smash hit “Bobby Bitch” or in a two page spread for Urban Mag Ink, Svpreme is getting busy on the mic. And her latest visual, “Slaughter”is evident of that. The new track is slated to appear on her upcoming EP entitled The Paradox.
Svpreme is an up-and-coming Brooklyn based MC that’s been making a lot of noise in NY’s underground circuit. Svpreme  boasts an extremely high level of confidence in this visual with her smooth flows as she’s puffin’ on cigarettes, and threatening any female MC attempting to take her spot. When asked about the idea for the record/visual, Svpreme had a simple answer, “It’s only the beginning.”

She recently hit the stage with artists such as OG Maco, O.T. Genasis and Shy Glizzy among others. Svpreme is scheduled to perform this Friday at The Knitting Factory. Check out the details for that show here, and let us know what you think about her new drop!
