Here is the first visual off Jared Evan’s Radio In My Head Mixtape titled “Frozen” which is also featured on Lebron James’ “More Than A Game” Soundtrack.

The director, Rik Cordero said this “I remember showing the original version of this video to Puff during a studio session and he was like ‘Who is that kid, I want to meet him now!’ After that moment it was pretty clear that Jared would get a shot and not only would he get a shot but his calling card to the labels would be in the form of a music video presentation. I’m not sure if that’s ever happened before but I do feel good knowing that a video that was driven purely by artistic passion lead to a very gifted kid realizing his dreams.”

STR8NYC.com urges you to download/listen to NYC’s own Jared Evan’s debut mixtape Radio In My Head hosted by Rik Cordero x Polow Da Don. Jared takes hip hop to a whole new level with his fusion of melodic emotional rhymes and electronica driven tunes. Sure his singing & rhyming will draw comparisons to Drake and his lyrical flow is reminiscent of lil’ Nas x Q-Tip, but Jared brings that rock infused flava. Favs: “They Don’t Know”, “The Light”, “Feeling Like A Song (Produced by IllMind)”, “Window” & “Don’t Really Care No More”. Just trust you won’t be disappointed!

Skillz – “For Real” from Three/21 Films on Vimeo

Check out Rik Cordero’s latest directorial master piece for Skillz new project “For Real” off his new album Million Dollar Backpack. Something about the video brings me back to LL Cool J’s “Hey Lover” days….

But back to Rik Cordero, peep the video clip below where XXL’s Carl Chery chops it up with the director on artistic integrity.


Realtalk, I’m glad directors like Rik Cordero and Vid Arroyo are bringing back the art of visual storytelling to its foundation rather than focusing on the fancy digital imagery that embodies most hip hop videos today.
