Last year, Kyle Rapps released his On Air mixtape, sampling from the legendary French electro duo Air. Now, following the video for "Universe Traveler" with Talib Kweli, and a recently released video for "Bully" from his previous Re-Edutainment EP, Rapps is excited to release the latest video from On Air, for the single "Streets Move On."
The video, directed by Mr. Complex, captures Kyle backstage at the now shuttered Southpaw in Brooklyn, mixing the footage with stark and poignantly shot images of Brooklyn and Harlem streets as Kyle makes his way around the city. For Kyle, the purpose of the song and the video was to show a side of Brooklyn that is too often forgotten. "I wanted to show how hungry shit is despite all the gentrification," explains Rapps, "And also that there's love in these streets despite the struggling."
