Hannan Hussain directs a rousing, thrillingly cinematic promo for Clipse. The video for F.I.C.O. is a visceral street story that frames the reunion of a legendary duo - Gene 'Malice' and Terrence 'Pusha T' Thornton - presented in a quick-fire, textural montage, blending intimate performance shots with cityscapes and abstract snapshots that illustrate the track's narrative of the pair's tough upbringing.Hussain has created an immersive visual that matches the breathless pace of the track, featuring stunning monochromatic, documentary-style imagery, shot by DoP Liam Reardon. This is standout work from the director who also helmed the video that heralded the pair's return last year, for So Be It. It's worthy of comparison with classic hiphop videos addressing social issues by Jay-Z and Kendrick and others.
