HDBeenDope: It's a massive cinematic flex with the 'Happening' music video

Keeping it 100? HDBeenDope doesn’t put out wack music. End of story. Seriously though, he really lives up to his rap alias and his new ‘Happening’ music video really does prove it.

HDBeenDope delivers ‘Happening’ and it’s all you would want

Big flexes. Major confidence. Fun vibes. All those elements slap hard for nearly three minutes in the new visual with help from collaborator Connie Diiamond coming through on the music video assist.

Directed by Erikson Corniel, HD’s longtime creative partner, the visual brings the spirit of Brooklyn and the Bronx together with HD and Connie’s newly formed alliance. The video depicts both rappers taking over the night with their crews, while HD and Connie show off bringing their goals to life while securing their paper. Both New York rappers continue their explosive growth within the genre showing that 50 years later, hip hop is thriving.

With recognition from the BET Hip-Hop Awards, co-signers such as DJ Khaled and Rapsody among many others, the Brooklyn Native’s breakthrough return follows his 2022 EP project, What Can They Say. Also executive produced by Dizzy Banko, the release marked HD’s debut as a signed Roc Nation artist. Today’s new visual release also builds on the massive success of What Can They Say’s lead track, “Mamba” which has slowly become a nationwide anthem celebrated and shared by the industry’s elite, such as actress Tia Mowry, NBA Miami Heat player Jimmy Butler, Kansas Chief Quarterback and Super Bowl Winner Patrick Mahomes, LeBron James, major networks like ESPN, and sports stadiums nationwide.
