Liquid Lyrics were stoked to attend Omar’s debut music video premier for his song ‘Hemingway at hippo bar on Wednesday. This intricately detailed clip been on replay for a few days now and seemingly gets better every time we watch it.
The clip offers visually sumptuous angles of a bustling and paradoxical London that is seemingly apathetic to its darker social issues. As OBM spits on the track: “Pray for the city of glamour and grit/ where the abject poor living next to the rich/on the Brixton bus envisioning/ beauty and death in the town I’m living in”.
Omar points out that he spent hours filming on trains, buses, in shady alleys, getting kicked out by security guards, and we think the love and effort he put into this vid really shows. We are loving the video here at LL and hope that this is the first of many OBM music vids (hint: do a video for 'bring it back' or 'shake em up')
We had a few exclusive vids filmed with Omar earlier this year where he spits that raw, cypher, intelligent rap shit with Roshambo for our LL cams, so watch out for that - it'll be up here soon.
Much love!
Ingers aka Jesta
