The hits keep coming on Music Video Monday!
Memphis artists who couldn’t play out were busy writing and recording during the pandemic. Now, as the pandemic eases in America, we’re seeing an avalanche of new music videos — too many to be contained by one day!
A rapper, a rocker, a singer, and a six-string gunslinger, Rico Tha Akronym says his nom de guerre stands for “Ridiculously Independent, Completely Overconfident”, but with songs like “Appreciate Ya”, his confidence is warranted. Produced by Memphis banger-maker Ryan Peel, it’s a catchy, R&B love letter to the women in their lives. The song appears on Ricos’ new record, R&R EP, which you can find on his new website.
The video, which sees Rico and Ryan chilling on the couch while pampering an assortment of special ladies, is a production of Misfit Studios International. Take a look, and smooth out your Wednesday.
