Get Your Buzz Up #1 Site for Unsigned/Indie/Underground Hip Hop
Boston emcee Uncle Sam has been flying under the radar since he first emerged onto the scene a few years ago but his latest video might be the one to jumpstart a free flow of new fans. “Who Told You” is a lyrical hommage to all rappers out there who think they have what it takes to hit the limelight, but Uncle Sam and Bakari J.B. are spectating/wondering “who told them they could flow”? It’s a thought that runs through our heads often, so a song touching base on the topic was only fitting.
“This one was a trip to film. Literally. Rose Glen and I were brainstorming a unique location when I came across an article about an abandoned prison camp outside Worcester, Massachusetts. Perfect. The whole theme of Get Off My Lawn revolves around the frustrations of city living. What better way to express that than to shoot the video at a man-made prison re-claimed by nature?
We knew more or less where we were headed, but finding the place ended up being a bit more difficult than we bargained for. As the roads got less and less maintained, Bakari became more and more convinced that we were driving directly into a horror movie. Water was rationed. Escape routes were planned. Somehow we discovered the site before all Hell broke loose. Composure was regained and we headed back to the city with the footage you see above.” – Uncle Sam
