What a sweet premium wine this is! Local punk hip hoppers Boogie Boy Metal Mouth bring the heat in their new video for God & Cupid. Fresh off their latest EP “Call A Cop” which just dropped last week, “God & Cupid” trucks along with a heavy synth baseline and groovy backbeat while MC J. Ring attacks the mic.
Director Christian Hardy, who has been killing it lately with his last few music videos for The Televibes (he also drums in the band), delivers another gem with this horror/grind house film homage starring Scott Loring, also of the Televibes. The video features Loring wondering into a mysterious secret show where the duo (J. Ring and DJ Emoh Betta) are rocking the party and everyones drinkin’ the kool aid and gettin’ weird. The video was shot around Mission Hill, and according to Hardy, they had an interesting time while filming…
“At one point while filming the videos exterior introductory shot on Hillside, we were mid-take when all of a sudden I (Christian) was confronted in broad daylight in the middle of the crew by a gang member who claimed that we were filming on his “Territory.” Everybody sort of froze up and just about shit themselves because not only was he in 100% berserk mode – he was also finishing a 40oz of Olde English, Smoking a blunt to his face, and basically threatening to beat me unconscious in front of everyone…. AT 10 A.M. I hadn’t even woken up yet.The conflict was resolved when Boogie Boy Metal Mouth’s J. Ring and Emoh rolled up in a black out sedan wearing fed-looking suits (in-costume for the video) and startled the aggressor. Shortly thereafter the thug made everybody hit his mystery-blunt in front of him…twice.”
Luckily the crew was able to complete the video, and we are now able to premiere it to y’all right here on Allston Pudding! Although it’s probably better suited for a run down movie theater or drive-in, a youtube link will have to do for now…
*The video was also an official selection for this year’s (2015) Austin Music Video Festival in Austin Texas alongside music videos from The Black Angels, Gary Clark Jr. and others!
