Skillz - I Want Change

Rewind That - Skillz “Crazy World”

The ever forward stomp of technology is allowing independent artists to create videos of top notch quality. With a couple thousand dollars an artist can film HD quality visuals that would have previously been impossible without the help of a major label budget check.

But like any piece of technology what you do with it is what matters.

Skillz, out of Richmond, Virginia, teamed up with Illusive Media to create a nice looking video for “Crazy World.” For sure, the song is far from catchy. Still it brings to mind the flavor of hip-hop before it became exclusively about the hook, verse, and royalties.

This is something you would have seen on Uncle Ralph’s show at 4:15, watched it all the way through just because it showed a slice of the country you weren’t familiar with, and then get to that Mary J. Blige “Reminisce.”

I’m sure you’ll insert your own ‘back in the days song’ there, it’s what the video does: provides space for you to think how crazy the world has become. *Hah*

For those of you not familiar, Skillz is the guy at the end of the video with the “I Want Change” sign.
