Kero One Shares Teaser of Upcoming “Stay on the Grind” MV

Bay area MC Kero One is getting ready to drop a new MV for his song “Stay on the Grind” featuring Hip-Hop veteran Ohmega Watts. The song is off his previous album Early Believers. I didn’t know K. One could skateboard! Anyway the video is set to drop soon but you can get a behind the scenes glimpse of what’s to come from the multi-talented artist.

Here’s a little teaser of what’s to come in my latest music video Stay on the Grind feat. Ohmega watts off my last album Early Believers.  Backtracking a bit, Ohmega had introduced me to director James Cheeks, who had been directing his documentary “On the Grind” .  His documentary documented the long beach skate scene in the aftermath of a shooting that killed Black Mike, a local professional skateboarder.  It seemed very appropriate to collaborate with James on this video.  Check it out…

WTF: Kero One – Yes Party People

Time for another Weekly Thursday Freebie. This one is out for only a limited time so I recommend you pick it up fast since it’s supposedly going down in a couple days. Kero One teamed up with Filipino-American producer Green Tea for “Yes Party People” off of Green’s Places & Space album. It’s available via the widget below. It’s a chill song and the production is definitely nice, so don’t miss out because as I said, it’s supposed to be free for only a couple more days.

Kero One x Sam Ock Drop the MV for “On Bended Knee”

As he indicated, Kero has released the music video for his latest single “On Bended Knee”. The song features none other than Sam Ock. I’m at work so I haven’t had the chance to view it in full but I’ll post my thoughts later tonight. Just wanted to make sure you all get a chance to check it out!

[EDIT] OK so I had the chance to watch it. It’s a simple but dope MV. I’m glad they were able to get Sam into the video as well! And I just had the chance to read the press release on the video and it’s apparantly based on a true event.

From his latest album, Kinetic World, Kero One presents the official first music video entitled On Bended Knee feat. Sam Ock. Written from Kero One’s own personal experiences, On Bended Knee is about finding “the one”  to spend the rest of his life with despite having traveled the world looking for love previously “in all the wrong places.” And if you are wondering what happened with the girl he’s rapping about in the song, she said “yes.”  Their wedding was literally a few days ago. The video was shot and directed by Johnny Le from Portland, Oregon.

Congrats to Mr and Mrs One!!
