C-Rayz Wallz – “Blvck Gifted”

Directed by Geoff Dalecez

Revered underground wordsmith C-Rayz Walz rocks a nostalgic hip hop vibe with a visual to match. A reworking of Big Daddy Kane’s “Young, Gifted and Black” rolls underneath C-Rayz Walz’ raspy flow, while the video, shot in black and white, keeps the atmosphere reminiscent of a more purist time in hip hop, without sounding dated. “Blvck Gifted” appears on C-Rayz Walz / DubMD project All Blvck Everything: The Prelude
