New Mac Lethal Video: “Speak Low”

More sexy fruit from the marriage-made-in-Craigslist-heaven collabo of Black Clover Records and Kyle Harbaugh — the team that brought us these classic gems, not to mention XV’s latest — but this time with fewer theatrics than usual and heaps of coldly beautiful shots of Kansas City. Indeed, the direction taken for “Speak Low” (off Mac’s Love Potion Collection 5 Deluxe release) is stripped down and simple, with the rapper slumming around local scenery that shifts between urban landmarks and abstract spaces. The camerawork is just beautiful.

It’s a nice change of pace from the team’s previous work, which has been nearly Moulin Rouge-like in ambition — and that’s been great, too. Not one uninspired video yet. Mac and Kyle’s stuff is easily in the same league, quality-wise, as videos getting made for much bigger acts. For real.
