K Koke ft Rita Ora 'Lay Down Your Weapons' by Courtney Phillips

Courtney Phillips showcases his skill for narrative form with the delivery of his promo for UK MC K Koke - featuring an appearance from the UK's fastest rising star, Rita Ora. Shot over two days on a prison set at Wimbledon Studios, Lay Down Your Weapons, beautifully lit and shot by Ben Todd, follows a young incarnation of the rapper as he deals with the pressures of a stint inside. Already the subject of an early feature on the Guardian music blog, the promo deals less with the glamourization of life in jail but a study of a young person's experience within the prison system.
