This month, Latrell James made his first drop of the year with his "Tracphone" single, a self-produced output that found the Boston-bred emcee offering his own perspective on the topics of gentrification and the constant struggle between preserving the past and having to embrace the future.
It's a strong statement that has now found accompaniment in a visual to match as James offers up a nostalgic VHS-style delivery that finds the rapper taking over a white couple's television screen as he advertises free afro picks while delivering on the track as they frantically try to make sense of the spot.
"Tracphone" is set to lead us into James' forthcoming EP, but until then, get into the video in full up top.
