?Local rappers, Mathmadix unveiled the official video to their new single "Puff Pass" this past weekend. The video is the first look at the group's long-awaited album, In a Class of Our Own.
The song's pretty self-explanatory, but the video debut marks the first time the outfit dabbles in video production.
We caught up with rapper Knawledg for the low-down on the music video that starts with the disclaimer that, "all individuals in this film are medical marijuana patients."
Follow the jump for his take on smoking the sticky-icky, the new album and that other controversial state law, Senate Bill 1070.
About "Puff Pass":
Knawledge: The Marijuana law was passed here in Arizona that says you can grow 12 marijuana plants legally. So the song was inspired of course by that act being passed and you know, we're really big into supporting Arizona State law.
About the video:
That's something we're starting to do ourselves. We're much more than just rap artists, we're definitely a label. I think a lot of people think we're just rappers but we do pretty much everything on the scale. This is the newest thing we want to bring to the table -- video production. Most of the video production and editing was done by Deztined, who's also a producer. The beat on the song was made by J-Beam who's an amazing artist and producer himself. And you know we're just wanting to get into this video stuff to how it's supposed to be done.
You know there's a lot of people dropping videos right now. You can go on anybody's Facebook and Youtube and you'll see people going out in front of brick walls and recording videos, and that's cool you know what I mean? I respect anything people try to do to progress but, the Math, we like to portray a certain image and that's one of sharpness and clarity. We want to try to deliver the best product we can do.
I didn't want to go to overboard with the whole marijuana theme, but we definitely wanted to get the point across and still look sharp and cool at the same time. We were just trying to shoot for what would capture the eye which is very difficult because like I said, we're in an era where videos are being dropped left and right. So we want to stay original and stay fresh.
This is the first one we've put out, but we're looking forward to dropping many more.
