Mr. Porter - "Hey" [Official Video]

Mr. Porter Returns With The Official Video For "Hey" From His Forthcoming 'Stuff In My BackPack' EP Directed By Morningside Films.

Mr. Porter returns with the official video for "Hey" - a bonus track from his forthcoming Stuff In My Backpack EP - directed by Morningside Films. The video for the track inspired by some downtime spent with Jay Electronica and DJ TJ offers fans their first taste of the impending project, which boasts appearances from Rapsody, Phonte, Royce Da 5'9 and Scram Jones. Mr. Porter delivers this joint with a note on how it all came together:

"I was chilling with Jay Electronica and his DJ, DJ TJ, and he starts playing loops. I stopped him when he got to that loop [heard in "Hey"] and I instantly thought it would be cool to rhyme over it. Things are pretty uptight these days with all that's going on and there's not been a lot to smile about, so I called up some friends, hit the beach and shot the video. This project reminds me of my roots which is 93 to 96 era of hip hop that got me started- Tribe, Common, De La and Slum Village. This is just something light-hearted I wanted to share."
