Who says it at all times rains within the Emerald City? People who know and love the Pacific Northwest could be fast to inform you: Seattle has greater than its share of gorgeous days. The skies are clear and blue within the video for “Bouncin”, the most recent single from Seattle emcee Maribased1, and the aerial photographs of his neighborhood by director Ife Adeniji, who calls himself the Video Dope Dealer, are nothing in need of breathtaking. Just as Maribased1’s clip for his prior single “Doe Boe” confirmed viewers a facet of Seattle they don’t usually see with a take a look at the dirty backstreets of the city’s rougher neighborhoods, the sunny, breezy, warm-weather “Bouncin” video does, too.
Broadening the views of outsiders is without doubt one of the many issues that Maribased1 does properly. In his music, he presents a multifaceted Seattle: a Seattle of sellers and clients, get together youngsters and critical grownups, the wealthy and the poor, the hustlers and the thieves, the attractive and the ugly, all facet by facet with none contradictions. He’s carrying on a protracted custom of Pacific Northwest storytelling, and doing it with formidable ability and an irrepressible sense of enjoyable. On the 24 OZ Mixtape sequence, his beats and his stream draw from hip-hop previous and current – you’ll hear echoes of latest H-Town manufacturing, traditional Bay Area hyphy (his identify is an allusion to Lil B), and, within the unflinching honesty of his verses, even just a little old style East Coast narrative rap. This is the brand new Northwest – a cultural crossroads at a nook of America – and Maribased1 is considered one of its undisputed leaders.
He by no means misses a chance to point out Seattle pleasure. In the “Bouncin” clip, he wears two jerseys: one sporting the variety of Seahawks bruiser Marshawn Lynch, and the opposite after Gary Payton, legendary level guard of the misplaced and lamented Sonics. He reveals us inside his home – after which he takes us on the roof for a barbecue overlooking the streets. That’s solely one of many views of the Seattle skyline he and the Video Dope Dealer present us. The different is from the far facet of Elliott Bay on the Puget Sound, the place Maribased1 and his associates park the automobile, get together, and rely their stacks of dough.
