Labi Odebunmi directs a winding showcase of movement, fashion and performance, in his dynamic promo for Ray BLK and Stefflon Don's Over You.&nbsp;The irresistible video takes place at a dance party, where freedom, individuality and community take hold.&nbsp;Mixing an underground aesthetic with glossy, fashion-forward visuals,&nbsp;Odebunmi has created a sensual, passionate performance promo, which puts the focus on the artists and their impressive talents.&nbsp;DoP Henry Gill's high-energy cinematography elevates the concept, bringing the dancefloor experience right to viewers at home.&nbsp;"With this visual I&nbsp;wanted to authentically and unapologetically transport people into the veins of a cultured dance party," says&nbsp;Odebunmi.&nbsp;"I see the song as a sort of pick-me-up, feel-good, older and wiser, post closure party mood track after some sour times - like when you’re finally emotionally free, at peace and can let-loose party on from old grey days."This is Ray's first ever time doing choreography - and kudos to her because she killed it even with tight rehearsals in the midst of her hectic album press week. Big shouts out to choreographer Remi Black who smashed it also. We’ve been a fan of each other's work for some time and i was just itching for the right project for us to lock one in. Soon as the label sent this to me, I knew straight away."&nbsp;

Ray BLK X Stefflon Don 'Over You' by Labi Odebunmi

RAY BLK - Over You ft. Stefflon Don

Dappy pays homage to&nbsp;life before&nbsp;fame, in&nbsp;Labi Odebunmi's cinematic short film for Intro.&nbsp;Touching upon how artists juggle their music careers and personal life, the autobiographical narrative depicts a young Dappy going through life in Camden, navigating the various challenges and roadblocks along the way.&nbsp;Odebunmi cleverly contrasts lavish performance setups with grittier, authentic vignettes from the streets, highlighting the hustle that got the artist to where he is today.&nbsp;Each character in the story is brilliantly cast, encompassing the emotional rollercoaster of the journey, while&nbsp;DoP&nbsp;Arran Green matches the high-energy concept with stylised lighting and handheld camera movement.&nbsp;

Revenge is on the cards&nbsp;in Labi Odebunmi's enigmatic promo for Ray BLK.&nbsp;Celebrating a sense of growth and empowerment following a breakup, the dynamic visuals feature&nbsp;BLK's mesmerising&nbsp;performance&nbsp;across&nbsp;several distinct setups.&nbsp;The styling and cinematography are suitably slick, and the ominous location adds a hidden layer of mystery to the concept.&nbsp;

Stefflon Don, Geko, Dappy and Deno run into trouble with the law in Labi&nbsp;Odebunmi's video for Link Up.&nbsp;A high energy, cinematic performance setup for each artist is contrasted with an interlinking narrative, depicting each of the artists being arrested and taken away from their loved ones. Inside the prison, they are all desperate to link up and reconnect, but the stubborn and brash officers are having none of it.&nbsp;Sampling the legendary&nbsp;R'n'B hit Always on Time by Ashanti &amp; Ja Rule, the bouncy track is a collaboration between some of the biggest names in the genre, and the video reflects this with high production values and a very well executed concept.&nbsp;

It&#39;s gangsta life all the way with Geko, Ay Em and French Montana in Labi Odebunmi&#39;s LA-set video for New Money, featuring some eye-catching helicopter stunts.&quot;With a big collaboration featuring three titans from North Africa - Geko&nbsp;from Libya/Algeria],&nbsp;French Montana from Morocco, and Ay Em from Morocco - I&nbsp;wanted to create a zestful, action visual to play the spirited sonics,&quot; says Labi.&nbsp;&quot;Something like&nbsp;Bad Boys II -&nbsp;but North-Africans set in Los Angeles. It was a heavy but great shoot over two days. The helicopter shot was crazy.&quot;

Grime videos don&#39;t usually get labelled as being charming, but Labi Odebunmi&#39;s video for Unknown T deserves that description.The video for Throwback taps into the nostalgic theme of the song, with T reminiscing about growing up in Hackney, East London, back in the day.It&#39;s all sparked off when a puzzled young relative of his finds his very old Sony Erickson phone. Then we head back to 2003, with T as a primary school age kid, messing around with his mates on the bus, having his first crush. Then it&#39;s later on, in 2009, when he&#39;s a more streetwise teenager.The &#39;period detail&#39; is very good,&nbsp;with lots of Noughties-generation cultural touches. It&#39;s also nicely shot by Arran Green, employing different ratios to establish the different time periods. Clearly a lot of heart, soul and smart production work has gone into this. Very good work by director&nbsp;Labi and his team.&nbsp;

Labi Odebunmi directs Nigerian pop star Ezi Emela&#39;s Chineke Meh - an expression meaning &#39;Oh My God&#39; - in a series of set-ups that reflect different aspects of Africa.It&#39;s a slick,&nbsp;impressively art directed production, with sultry Ezi emerging out of the jungle and dancing in shallow water - all sets created from scratch in a London studio.&quot;I wanted to play with an image system of nature &ndash;&nbsp;grass, sea/water and sun &ndash; to visually communicate a show of beauty with voyeuristic strands and pockets of modern Africa,&quot; says Odebunmi.

Labi Odebunmi &amp; Bubz have created this intro video&nbsp;to&nbsp;amp up the buzz right before the release of&nbsp;highly-anticipated album&nbsp;The Deliverance,&nbsp;by one of&nbsp;UK&#39;s finest rappers, Sway.The clip employs&nbsp;some eye-catching graphics to illustrate how Sway literally manipulates letters to create new words. Aesthetically, it looks similar to the cover art, featuring yellow type on dark footage of Sway, who barely shows his face in the promo, letting the words and gestures do all the talking.
