BEEZ Goes From Rags To Riches And Back Again In New Video "Donuts In A Lambo"

Lenny Kravitz, Grace Jones, Lauryn Hill, Lion Babe, Thundercat, SZA & More Rock The Afropunk Festival 2015 in Brooklyn, NY.

Let’s start the evening off with some new heat by a young emcee by the name of BEEZ. Representing East Chicago, Indiana (now residing in Los Angeles), BEEZ has been better known for his web skits as a popular youtube star, however, he’s now switching gears and putting more focus on his rap career. The young emcee makes a strong first impression with this crispy new video “Donuts In A Lambo.” The Bruce Waynne (1/2 of Grammy award production duo Midi Mafia) produced track serves as the first single off of BEEZ’ upcoming debut, Hey Tomorrow: EP.

Says BEEZ of the track:

I came up with the song just playing around with melodies in the studio and randomly decided to make a conceptual song in a rags to riches sort of manner. Just recently moving to LA i've seen so much that i've never been exposed to before coming from Indiana. Luxury cars are everywhere here, so 'Lambo' is the first that popped in my head. We could've made it any car to be honest, but I feel a Lambo kind of represents the point when you've made it. Donuts on the other hand, represent fun and freedom. It's the type of song you can listen to the day of your paycheck whether you work fast food, or made a million in a day...the same feeling you have when nobody can say nothing to you, a sense of feeling invincible. I just created it in a way everyone could recite the lyrics and have fun, the same fun as actually doing donuts in a fast car.

Video directed by Ace Branding (shot by APlus Filmz). BEEZ makes it clear he’s an emcee to check for with this one. Look for his Hey Tomorrow: EP to drop on September 6th (entirely produced by Bruce Waynne).
