Rik Cordero knocks out the visual for the John Legend assisted “The Fire” from The Roots’ How I Got Over effort. Nah, The Roots nor John Legend appear in the cut. Codero explains why, below!
“‘The Fire’ is one of my favorite tracks off HIGO and really feels like something you’d hear in the theater. The line ‘you don’t say good luck, you say don’t give up’ inspired me to create a period piece narrative that stays true to the lyrics while adding another layer to the interpretation.”

The ILLZ – Turpentine Weed (Official Video) from Delgis Mustafa on Vimeo.
Says Kristopher Rey-Tailey (Turpentine Weed’s filmmaker)
Here we go, Round 2. Its funny, The ILLZ and I have wavered back and forth about how to release this video series, and what video would come when. It become clear, after Life and Dreams of Beth”, that ‘Turpentine Weed’ would be a nice followup, as it would crush expectations set forth by our first two collaborations, The Moment You Feel Definite Hope, and the aforementioned Beth. This video was a 180, and it needed to be. The record is laid back, fun, and I wanted to create a video that felt that way as well. The ILLZ is a very multifaceted person. Not only is he intelligent, and one of the most ambitious and cinematic thinking musicians I know, but he also knows how to kick it. If you met him in the street or at a bar, you’d never know how intense and moody his tracks can be. So with Turpentine, we wanted to show off another part of his personality, or two parts in this case. We have the smooth motherfuckin ILLZ and we have the ILLZ as “The Dude”. Talented, well spoken and educated, but also has the ability to kick it and not give a shit. Its a low fi concept done in a creative and hopefully, entertaining way. And watch out for part three, as this series grows deeper and the style conquers another bit of cinematic history.
The ILLZ releases his second clip from his In Between Video series. The full product will be available for download on August 17th. Oh, and if you’re out and about in NYC tonight, The ILLZ will be performing alongside J.Y. and Joell Ortiz hosted by Freeway with Joe Budden and Cory Gunz deemed as the evenings special guests.
