Here are some quick thoughts about this week’s roundup. The Florida Georgia Line video treatment for “May We All” could have easily been expanded to a short film. It’s that good! Just as good: the visuals for the excellent DJ Shadow and RTJ collaboration. Lastly, I look forward to a near future where (almost all) African videos are filmed on the mother continent. This is no knock on those that share this sentiment. But I believe costs for a great video on our soil have gone down to reasonable levels. The requisite skill set, personel, props and locales are available in abundance. And the proof is in the pudding: 2Baba’s, Cassper Nyovest’s and Falz’s latest are just but a few examples.

Editor’s Note:
Today, we throwback to the earlier experimental (and hitherto archived) versions of the ‘Roll and Coasters‘ series. ‘R&Cs: Grass Ain’t Greener’ was originally put together in August 2016. Do enjoy.
