Rico Fields – Memphis Flyer

It’s a sweet Music Video Monday.

Chinese Connection Dub Embassy’s partnership with producer Ryan Peel has produced another banger. “Honey” features R.I.C.O. the Akronym, aka Rico Fields, who was a bandmate of CCDE’s late frontman Omar Higgins in their anti-racist hardcore band Negro Terror. The Akronym proves he can lay down some sensual flow just as well as he can spit out searing guitar lines.

The summer breeze of a video is directed by Peel. Check out David Higgins’ diving board guitar solo!

Feeling snazzy this Music Video Monday? You’re not alone.

Memphian Ryan Peel sends us this music video from Japanese artist Snazzy-Line (aka Hidetaka Fujiki).

“Hidetaka initially flew to Nashville to make his record, but after some organizational issues, was sent to me by a mutual friend. Then, sight unseen, Fujiki rode a bus to Memphis and we began creating his album! Fast forward a few months and one more round-trip flight from Japan, Hidetaka returned to finish up the rest of his record and I hosted an event (30for$30) to showcase his music and shoot this accompanying music video. This was an incredible experience for both of us and I was able to employ multiple Memphis artists to complete the vision: Rico Fields (Negro Terror), Derek Brassel (Black Cream), Stephanie Doll McCoy (Adajyo), and WEBBSTAR.”
