Hak Baker ft Joe James 'Blender' by Rob Akin
Rob Ulitski - 25th Sept 2024
Rob Akin directs a powerful promo for Hak Baker featuring rapper Joe James, illustrating the tough world described in the song with impressive precision.
The monochromatic video for Blender is shot in an intimate fashion, intercutting between close-up performance and narrative cutaways.
Exploring themes such as youth and selling drugs to survive, the high contrast, abstract cinematography - also by Akin - puts the focus solely on the human aspect of the concept, and how we are all doing our best to make it through.
Great work with a captivating aesthetic.
