The Park – These Are The Days (Video)

Bay Area rhythm section The Park (backing band for BIG K.R.I.T., Freddie Gibbs, Alice Russell, Jesse Boykins III and more), unveil the first video for their new three song release “These Are The Days.” Set over a grinding synth-based groove and featuring vocoder and a cinematic guitar jam, the track is a funk-drenched take on life in the U.S. right now. The video echoes the song with a kaleidoscope of visuals featuring working people, classic lyrical themes such as “Let It Be” and “Things Fall Apart“, California sunsets, and the theme of cherishing right now because “these are the days.”

Three is the magic number, but there’s plenty of magic in De La duo First Serve’s first video, “Must Be The Music.” The pair’s sound is easily reminiscent of early De La Soul, combining ’70s funk and disco with Golden Era hip-hop. And where is Maseo you might ask?
