In an effort to get the word out we’ve created a series of behind the scenes clips to promote the track which we will be releasing on our YouTube account once a week to help promote the music video. To give a little background on the song “What I want” is a song by Project-kay featuring Ushe-S, Clara-T and Flowsik. It’s a very grimy hip-hop track which features fast paced flows over a very hard drum driven beat produced by Project-kay (song to be released 2 weeks from now). Due to the nature of the rhymes and feel the track we decided to shoot the video in an old prison in Pietermaritzburg (KZN). This behind the scenes clip features one of the artist’s featured on the track “Clara-T” and is an on set interview with her where she talks about her experience on set.
