Humble Soles, DJ Clue, RJAE & Huey V: It's a grand slam flex with the 'Derek Jeter' music video
Sometimes a fire anthem is just too big to put into the ‘VIDEOS’ section - just keeping things 100. So when you see Humble Soles, DJ Clue, RJAE and Huey V linked up for their ‘Derek Jeter’ cinematic video, it’s deserving of your attention.
The new ‘Derek Jeter’ music video has officially arrived
Whether you’re loving the title of the anthem or can’t get enough of the recently released Humble Soles compilation album, it’s all eyes on the glow in this new video.
Roc Nation’s breakout artist RJAE, emerging from New Orleans joins Milwaukee’s rising star and Memphis Bleek protégé, Huey V to drop the newest music video release, “Derek Jeter” directed by Taya Simmons of Get Shot By a Girl Productions.
Debuting as the newest release from the label’s Humble Soles mixtape, the video captures two of Roc Nation’s rap heavyweights expertly sparring verse for verse over the track’s booming bassline. Both RJAE and Huey V’s sharp lyrical prowess are delivered flawlessly though each rapper’s unique, effortless flow. The video spins between scenes of the suited-up pair gliding through the streets in a hearse symbolic of death to their competition to visuals or RJAE and Huey boisterously taking the stage in and old church ominously preaching their stories.
Both artists exude power as they strike the pews with their heavy hitting bars while their audience - riddled with surprise appearances from fellow labelmates and mentors like Bleek himself – look on.
The “Derek Jeter” track comes from the Humble Soles mixtape launched earlier this year. The first-of-its-kind project was curated to commemorate the 50th Anniversary of Hip Hop this year tapping legacy artists such as DJ Clue who made an iconic resurgence for the tape.
The tape is a pillar of Roc Nation’s overarching Mixtape partnership with global sports company, PUMA. The collaboration unites both companies to honor hip hop and streetwear culture through a dynamic, 360 ecosystem of digital content, sneaker and apparel drops, and a nationwide rotation of immersive pop-up events and cypher competitions. The campaign features the support of leading industry tastemakers such as celebrity shoe designer Alexander John, Roc Nation’s Head of Lifestyle and Paper Planes co-founder, Emory Jones, Jim Jones, Wayne “Wayno” Clark, Lenny “Lenny S.” Santiago and more.
