SNUPE BANDZ and Bankroll Freddie are watching your every move in their latest video for “Green Beam.” This ominous record comes from SNUPE BANDZ & PaperRoute Woo’s joint mixtape BOYZ IN THE HOOD which was released earlier this year. Over a menacing trap instrumental that evokes a palpable feeling of danger, SNUPE and Freddie give listeners a peek into their high-stakes world where only the tough can survive. The video is presented like a piece of immersive journalism, inviting listeners to SNUPE’s perilous home turf of Block 19, beginning with a warning: “The footage you are about to see is from the notorious Block 19– a place where most are not welcome.” As the video progresses with found footage-style cuts through handheld video and security cameras, it’s increasingly clear that the difference between a smooth visit and one that goes sideways is entirely in SNUPE’s hands, as strangers and adversaries are dealt with at his discretion.
