Thug Life Army

Bay area rap artist Jacka of the Mob Figaz announces the release of the music video: “Barney (More Crime)”, the first video off of his 2005 sophomore album, The Jack Artist.

Shot and edited by Jordan Tower of Tower Films (Cormega, Infamous Mobb, Alchemist), with some direction from Jacka & rapper Cormega and an intro from Emmy award winning graphic designer Rich Scurry (Bravo, NBC, VH1), this is a hip-hop street video with some shine.

The bay area rap artists track “Barney (More Crime)” is a song about the struggle it takes to make it in the streets. “Barney (More Crime)” portrays the harsh reality about kids on the street whose only options come from rapping or selling dope. Jacka explains the conflict between good (rapping) and bad (selling dope) that people must go through in order to survive. Jacka shows that he, too, is subject to the same conflict every day. No one is perfect.

The video was shot in multiple notorious hoods across the Bay Area. It follows a story line of the Jacka teaching a young hood how to make it the right way in life, while pointing out that even legitimate ways to make money can never be solely relied upon in the streets. It features never before captured shots of real scenes straight from the streets of Oakland and Double Rock (the most notorious neighborhood in San Francisco’s Hunter’s Point district).
