Bun B, GLC & BJ the Chicago Kid – Happiness Before Riches (Video)‏ 

Closed Sessions: "Happiness Before Riches" feat. Bun B, GLC & BJ The Chicago Kid from Ruby Hornet on Vimeo.

"Forgive the long title, but a lot of hardwork and hands went into the making of the official video for "Happiness Before Riches" from our self-released EP, Closed Sessions Vol. 1 . You've heard the story and seen the documentary on how the song came together, and the video has an equally compelling tale. The video was shot in Austin, Texas smack dab in the middle of our Closed Sessions Austin project. While at the house recording with Freddie Gibbs, GLC mentioned that Bun B was on his way to Austin and was down to shoot this music video. Time was of the essence, as we had to balance around the clock recording, as well as the hectic schedules of Bun and GLC, who were playing various shows at various times. Given less than 24 hours to come up with a concept, secure the proper equipment, and find girls, our video team of Virgil and Angie sprang into high gear and brought back a tremendous video for a great song.”

Killah Priest - Psalm of Satan (ft. Ill Bill & Sabac Red) (Download) 

In these dark times, songs made with light and happiness do not always seem relevant, as it was when Killah Priest wrote this epic story from the point of view of Lucifer. Lucifer who was God's brightest angel, who God had made in charge of all music, would later rebel against God. Jealous of God's love for humans, Lucifer would end up leading revolt against God and the other angels.

The war in heaven would see Lucifer and his band of rebel angel’s fall from God's grace. This knowledge we have from the New Testament however not once is Lucifer mentioned in the Old Testament. In fact some theologians believe that Lucifer was an early creation of the Catholic Church to be the bogeymen and foil for all goodness in the world. Killah Priest who is both spiritual and worldly has written a sinister verse, drenched in disdain and vengeance from Lucifer’s perspective.

Sabac Red adds a sense of urgency to the song with his verse referencing Armageddon and the rise of the Beast. Lastly Ill Bill pens a verse about Lucifer manifesting in modern times as a skilled assassin working for government agencies or is he controlling them?In the end it is always up to the listener to decide what to believe, whom to believe and how this song relates to the dark world all around us.
