PEACE TO THE QUEENS AND THE BABIES AND ALL THAT PROD BY DJ MASTAMIND FILMED BY MARLEY CHAPMAN

Lord Jah-Monte Ogbon is back, and he’s brought with him a dusky, noirish single backlit by a video that revels in the nocturnal. Corner stores glare perpetually into the light-polluted cityscape while Jah-Monte deadeyes the camera, his frame standing imposingly before an almost-full moon. Chasing a mood rather than a narrative, the video eclipses his past work in terms of providing the viewer a vision of exactly who Jah-Monte is. Spitting eloquently against red light-splashed brickwork, the rapper’s dedication to marrying superb songwriting to aesthetic choices befitting of his position in the game has never been more apparent.
