Over this past Thanksgiving holiday, Fabolous dropped his Summertime Shootout mixtape, featuring remakes of classic R&B records and some original rap bangers, including this potent collaboration with rising NY star Dave East, who was signed to Mass Appeal Records by Nas in 2014.
“Summertime Sadness” is a classic bare-bones exercise in bars and delivery, and Fab and East quite literally find themselves at each others’ necks in its corresponding Gerard Victor-directed music video. Watch two of NYC’s anchors re-enact classic scenes from Face/Off in “Summertime Sadness,” which, according to Fab’s website, “visualizes the struggles in being both the villain and hero at some point in life.”
Enjoy.
