All about Hip-Hop and R&B
Here’s the official music video for “Emeryville” off Sylvan Lacue’s latest project “Far From Familiar“. The video’s essentially about chasing the woman of your dreams. It’s this perfect idea of the perfect girl in a perfect place that you can see, but never seem to get to. In the end, she finds you, just when you give up, and forces you back to reality. Which essentially means, she exists in real life, not just your dreams. #WiseUp

Read moreHere goes the official music video for Sylvan Lacue’s single “Loner”. Taken from his “Far From Familiar” project. The visual for “Loner” represents the struggle between hanging on to something too long and letting go in order to progress and move forward. In a more literal sense it is the struggle of moving on from a loved one and fighting to put the good memories aside to understand that in a particular situation the bad might outweigh the good. Human’s by nature don’t like change, even when the change is for the better. Being uncomfortable and unaware of how a situation plays out is not something normal humans gravitate to. That is why when we are put in a position to make a change it isn’t always easy to follow through. What separates the ones who get stuck in an eternal rut and the ones who become great is the ability to find that change and take it head on. In a sense, the willingness to be uncomfortable is actually the key to ultimately getting to a place of real comfort. “Loner” represents Sylvan’s ability to finally let go of a comfortable situation and pursue his path to greatness. #WiseUp
