Video: Ransom- No Introduction

New Jersey's latest street sensation Ransom AKA Dufflebag Ran hits us with his first video single off his forthcoming debut release on Babygrande Records; “STREET CINEMA”. Ransom has long been one of my favorite new hardcore street guys, that is destined to take the torch from hardcore rap godfathers Styles P and Kool G Rap when they call it quits. This video at times can mirror the dark spirit of Ran's rhymes very well...but, Some of you DVD heads will recognize recycled footage from what I have affectinately dubbed "the lamest 50 Cent DVD of all time": "50 Cent- Refuse to Die"...I don't know much about the guy that directed this video for Ransom, he goes by the name Picture Perfect, but one thing I do know is that re-using scenes from a DVD about another artist is a pretty weak leg to stand on in terms of your directorial abilities/prowess. Nevertheless, Ran overcomes the somewhat shotty film production by delivering a solid song and building anticipation amongest his fans with his unquestionable rawness.
