Que – I Swear [Video]

P.R. 0 Comments

Atlanta rapper Que has been a busy man, shooting not one, but five videos from his Can You Dig It 2 project. One of which, the animated “I Swear,” premieres today exclusively on HNHH. The video itself is minimalist in nature, but the clever use of comic-book-style animation lends this clip an additional sense of playful character. Plus, the added color imbues the visuals with a certain vibrancy, working in tandem with Que’s dynamic flow and clever bars. Catch Que on his first US headlining tour, The “How We Coming Tour” on June 27th, featuring rapper Deniro Farrar.

Ironically, the only thing keeping me from giving in to suicide is the thing that drives me towards suicide in the first place: the pursuit of love and happiness.” Take a listen below.
