Davey Inc young director Vertex steps out from behind the camera to deliver the first verse of this tune by UK hip-hoppers Marvell. Director Shane Davey had this to say about the shoot:

“Vertex is one of the Marvell Crew with Double S and Shokka. He directed their previous video and asked if I would be up for getting involved in the new one as they wanted something photographed guerrilla-style around north London.

“We spent a chaotic day racing around shooting on a 60 year old vintage Bell & Howell Filmo 16mm camera which is brilliant for guerrilla-style shooting because, as well as being an indestructible piece of precision engineering, it is also a gorgeous antique so civilians actually like looking at it instead of complaining about obstruction or whatever minor quibble becomes the focus of their existence for an afternoon whenever they see a camera crew on the streets. We had a fun day, shot some nice stuff and cut it together.”
