Hip Hop Congress artists Traxamillion and the Jacka release a new video featuring San Quinn and Husalah.
The documentary style video spans several culturally diverse hoods. The use of everyday people as cameos in the video was key in expressing the soul of the hood. Using moving photography, stunning shots, 35MM film and natural light, it captures the essence of what it means to be “From the Hood”. There is no glamour and glitz, just the streets and its people.
From The Hood will be getting nationwide press and promotion and is supported by a tour featuring Jacka, Traxamillion and San Quinn. If anyone is interested in booking this tour, please contact jordan@hiphopcongress.com.
