Jean Grae x Quelle Chris – “Gold Purple Orange” (Video)

Somehow perfect that folks like Eric Andre and Hannibal Buress are in this to add to the extinction level craziness of this visual event. “Gold Purple Orange” by Jean Grae & Quelle Chris… because why the f**k not?!

It’s a fun video. Our friends are in it.
We played dress up. I love editing and shooting and directing videos. In that way, it was also a f**king blast.

(Yooo… Grae in that black bra though yo… wowww.)

Tough day on the job? Punks stressing you at school? Kill everybody……With Kindness?

Jean Grae says, “Take off your ‘Mask’ and show me your face… I love you… There’s nothing wrong with the chinks in your armor.” You know, ‘Jeannie’ goes hard; but are you ready for how disarmingly soft she can be?

Jean Grae – “Kill Screen” (Video)

Jean Grae filmed, directed, and edited this video (at the same damn time… hahaaa)! Pretty dark. With the single sampling the video game “Donkey Kong,” one might figure the video would have a more “playful” touch. But it’s NOT a game to Grae. Jean Greasy doesn’t roll like that; especially when the single is entitled “Kill Screen.” It’s good though. Click and watch above. Hmmm… you see any ‘hidden messages’ in this??

Jean Grae – “Kill Screen”

You already KNOW this Jean Grae joint, “Kill Screen” (aka Steve Wiebe), is getting spun on The Beatz & Lyrics Show with JayForce. Well, if you don’t knowwww, now you knowwww. By the way, the Steve Wiebe reference is indeed to the underdog profiled in the documentary “King of Kong” – as Grae identifies with underdogs and video game-playing nerds. “Kill Screen” (aka Steve Wiebe) is Jean’s bonus cut for her upcoming “Gotham Down album. Classic ape s#$t lyricism on this track. And what could be sicker than the Donkey Kong sample flips on this Jean Greasy self-produced track? C’mon! Dope! Check the above average wordplay. Download it. Right here.
