Brooklyn Rapper & Popular Soca Artists Team Up For Video That Has Alternate 'Positive Spin on Hip-Hop' [WATCH HERE]
Former secular artist turned Christian rapper, Brooklyn's own Gauge, is set to release his newest video, "Stay in Your Lane" in the New Year and a behind the scenes video reveals the heart behind the Hip-hop song featuring artists Bunji Garlin and Pettidee.
Gauge linked up with Soca artist Bunji Garlin and mainstream veteran Pettidee for his song, "Stay in Your Lane" and in a behind the scenes video they discussed openly how the record will influence the culture with a positive message.
In the making of "Stay In Your Lane," shot by Epic Hip Hop, we see the guys performing in front of a green screen and hitting the streets of New York in different high profile vehicles. The significance of each performer driving in their own cars brings home the message of the song.
"Make sure that you stay true to yourself and make sure that you know who God wants you to be, stay up in your lane you'll never crash," Gauge tells viewers.
The footage also features words from Kingdom Time Entertainment CEO, Marcus Hall who directed "Stay in Your Lane." But perhaps the most compelling words in the video come from secular soca artist, Garlin who talked about how grateful he is to be featured on the song.
"It is a privilege, it is an honor to be a part of this brethren here video shoot," Garlin said speaking of Gauge and their 16-year-old friendship.
Garlin who is well known for his party songs, "Differentology" and "Truck on D Road," said he finds Gauge's song exciting because it is "positive hip-hop, [a] positive spin on the hip-hop."
It's "Like the alternate universe to what is happening right now which is much needed, which I'm happy to be a part of," he stated, "it's good for the soul, it's good for the heart, it's good for the blood vessels, good for the stream."
