The Video:
Earlier this month, fast-rising NY duo The Doppelgangaz announced their new album, HARK, accompanied by a video for the album's debut single, "Hark Back." The album, which will be released March 12th via the duo's label, Groggy Pack Entertainment, is a dark, gritty affair, one that nods toward the past, with comparisons to Gravediggaz and Boot Camp Clik, while looking towards the future and places The Doppelgangaz, comprised of rapper/producers EP and Matter Ov Fact, firmly among the emergent New York hip-hop scene. Today, The Doppelgangaz are releasing their new video, "Oh Well."
With their previous video for "Hark Back," The Doppelgangaz delivered a black-and-white clip featuring The Dopps as black-cloaked, free-riding car-jackers, and with this new video for "Oh Well," again self-directed by EP and Matter Ov Fact and premiered today by VIBE, the duo continues to deliver visuals that match their rugged aesthetic. The song opens with a crackled soul sample, and the video, shot in upstate New York, at a cattle farm, does well to show off the duo's sense of humor. "The treatment came to us while dining at Peter Luger Steakhouse," says The Doppelgangaz, jokingly. "We were drinking milk, listening to the song, and it hit us!"

Background:
The Doppelgangaz, comprised of rapper/producers and childhood friends Matter Ov Fact and EP, are a standard bearer for the re-emergent New York hip-hop scene. Independently, through the duo's own label, Groggy Pack Entertainment, The Doppelgangaz had something of a breakout in 2011 and 2012, a run that included the release of their album, in addition to a string of instrumental projects and EP releases. Together, these releases have opened up The Doppelgangaz to a legion of loyal grassroots fans – The Doppelgangaz have over one million YouTube channel views; they've toured Europe extensively and are headed back for a headline tour this spring; they reached number one on HHV's Top 100 list, Europe's top vinyl retailer – and they've done it all independently. Now, with plans for a European headline tour this spring, The Doppelgangaz have announced their new album, HARK, which will be released March 12, 2013.
