Focusing on the harsh realities of gun violence in America, Minneapolis artist Mike Mictlan of DoomTree calls upon Kron to direct the new disturbing but incredible powerful visuals for the RedVelvet Beats produced "CLAPP'D" lifted from his "HELLA FRREAL" album out now.
"I wrote this song way before Ferguson, way before Freddie Gray. I could feel the climate rising in our country with every video of police brutality posted on the Internet. I wrote this song for my friend Abdulle Elmi, gunned down execution-style in the streets of Toronto. But the biggest surprise was playing "CLAPP'D" on tour with Doomtree and finding out that I also wrote this song for the people I performed it to in every city who needed it more than me. I will continue to write these songs, not as a reaction but as a need. Stop The Violence."
Look for Mike to hit cities near you along with DoomTree as well.
