Here’s hoping that Blake gets into making more of this fresh and forward-thinking hip-hop, just like his work under his Harmonimix alias. The original version of “Life Round Here” is featured on James Blake’s sophomore LP Overgrown, released on Atlas/A&M Records. James Blake ft Chance the Rapper – “Life Round Here” (Official Video) And just like Blake’s own bleak production throughout this remix, rain covers all. The juxtaposition of Blake’s manor house falsetto and Chance’s street flow is exemplified through Nabil’s own synesthete genius by having a lowrider cruise through the wooded twists and turns of rural Hertfordshire, England as stallions, priests and Somali pirates stare. Perhaps best known for directing Kanye West/GOOD Music’s “Mercy” video, photographer and auteur Nabil partners with James Blake once again and provides his typically stark and sombre, halfway-between-a-dream-and-a-nightmare visuals for Blake’s remix of “Life Round Here” with Chicago MC Chance the Rapper.
After James Blakes The Colour In Anything in 2016, he reached new critical and commercial peaks with Assume Form during 2019. This isn’t the first rap video of late to greatly increase the potency of the song it portrays by being filmed entirely in black-and-white. British singer and songwriter James Blake comes live to the Verti Music Hall in Berlin on.
