Aminé’s latest “EpLpMixtapeAlbum” OnePointFive was one of last year’s standouts. It was an aggressive and boastful turn away from the his more humble Republic Records debut Good For You, and produced the Rihanna and Halle Berry-approved approved breakout jam “Reel It In.”
On Wednesday, the Portland-native released a new music video for the fourth track on OnePointFive, “Blackjack.” Directed by Aminé and Jack Begert of Psycho Films, the three-minute clip takes us the “School of Rap” where Aminé and the rest of the uniform-clad CLBN crew cut classes, dish out swirlies, and are generally delinquent. Internet personality Rickey Thompson — whose voice can be heard across the album — makes a guest appearance as a disapproving teacher, there are more than a few supreme bookbags, and Aminé plays his own disgruntled step-father. The video is well worth the watch.
