R.U.D.Y. – Memphis Flyer

Those of us who were at the Indie Memphis Film Festival this weekend were treated to a great bloc of music videos. R.U.D.Y. had two music videos in the mix, including the pleasingly lo-fi “Show Improvement.”

The music video is an homage to one of R.U.D.Y.’s favorite shows. “Home Improvement was one of my favorite shows growing up. It was only right we showed some love. The ’90s babies will understand lol,” he says. “In this world of madness we must always strive to Show Improvement. A lot of time it’s tempting to settle for the bare minimum. It’s not enough to show up. We MUST SHOW IMPROVEMENT.”

Slide into the week with Music Video Monday.

As I detailed in this week’s Memphis Flyer cover story, Unapologetic is getting ready to transform Memphis with the Orange Mound Tower project. Right now, three of the Bluff City-based record label’s heavy hitters want to transform your earholes with the jam of the summer. “Slide” is the latest single by PreauXX (a frequent flyer on Music Video Monday) featuring a smooth guest verse by A Weirdo From Memphis. Produced and mixed by newly inaugurated Unapologetic president Kid Maestro and mastered by IMAKEMADBEATS, “Slide” is a sly groove for cruising in the whip.

“A ‘slide’ can be multiple things,” says PreauXX. “It can be a special person, it could be you visiting someone, and it could even be just hanging out. But ultimately, it feels good.”

The video is co-directed by PreauXX and Unapologetic visual leader 35Miles. It features the talents of Kierra Monique, Isadorabriony, Raphel Baker, Chris Craig, and R.U.D.Y. Drop what you’re doing and dig this earworm.
