Morell is one of Africa’s finest musical discoveries of 2012. After winning us over with the Mark Hoffmyer-directed “Oxygen” video, Morell brings it back home with “Kosi Pressure” collaborating with Patrick Elis to present a superb music video. James Amuta takes you behind the scenes.
“Principal photography on the video wrapped a few weeks ago on Morell’s “Kosi Pressure” video – majority of the scenes were shot on location in Lagos – and directed by Patrick Elis, the maestro whose team wowed us with visual classic like Wiz Kid’s ‘Holla at You Boy’ and Shank’s ‘Ghetto’. The video parades celebrities like Gabriel Afolayan, Dammy Krane, 5ive Mics, Praiz, Rayce, Crozz, Dipp all making cameo appearances. Filmed with the RED Epic digital cinema camera, the picture quality is something to behold. See for yourself in this amazing exclusive behind the scenes documentary as produced and directed by James Amuta for Bento Recordz.
This video is coming just after a few months after Morell rocked the African continent with his SA produced-Mark Hoffmyer-directed music video for “Oxygen” which held sway on MTV Base, trace, Channel O, Soundcity etc
for several weeks in various video chart shows, establishing Morell as one of the finest musical discoveries from Africa in 2012.
The official Kosi Pressure video is scheduled for release this October. Enjoy
