Illogic & Blockhead – “Atlantis Depth” (Video)

Video directed & Edited by Erik Anello. Shot by Laura Green.

This video by Illogic and Blockhead came out a couple days ago. Illogic is doing more so spoken word spitting on this NY shot video. Read more about the video below.

The video, premiered today by XXL, follows Illogic & Blockhead through parts of Midtown Manhattan and Brooklyn. However, the tone of the video is set immediately by a spoken quote from last year’s blockbuster Killing Them Softly, which is recited by Brad Pitt’s character Jackie Cogan: “This guy wants to tell me we’re living in a community? Don’t make me laugh. I’m living in America, and in America you’re on your own. America’s not a country. It’s just a business.” Illogic’s verse follows appropriately, offering social commentary on the dog-eat-dog mentality of American culture. “Only those who have mastered the framing of masterpieces will bask in the masters peace,” Illogic raps. “So recognize the genius in others in order for your genius to be recognized for the heights and a rich life.”
