Ghetts ft Stormzy & Ghetto 'Skengman' by Nathan James Tettey
Promonews - 18th Jan 2021
Nathan James Tettey channels a powerful grime superhero concept in his video for Ghetts' team-up with Stormzy on Skengman - with a little help from RUFFMERCY.
Tettey weaves the charismatic performance of the two artists - with Ghetts in his Ghetto persona - into a narrative of stylised violence and retribution, delivered in a stark monochromatic vision akin to the darkest of superhero action movies, or Frank Miller's Sin City series.
Cameo appearances by D Double E, Mist, Shaybo, and martial artist Michael 'Venom' Page also contribute to the idea of an alternative league of superheroes emerging on dangerous streets to protect the city - and this is sealed by a wonderful edit by Ollie Paxton, and work by the VFX team at Untold Studios.Â
The final graphic flourish by the inimitable Russ Murphy aka RUFFMERCY completes the job. Having won an UKMVA for the video for Ghetts' Mozambique, his contribution on the third video for the rapper's highly anticipated new album Conflict Of Interest adds an understated element of comicbook-style fantasy to what is an already very strong piece. Sets the bar high on marquee grime videos for the coming year.
