Rap Duo Release Dark First Visual Off Of Upcoming Album Zenith

The Video:
Grayskul, the Seattle duo made up of rappers Onry Ozzborn and JFK, release their video for “Face and the Fang” today. The video, shot by Eric Miller, provides nightmarish imagery to match the dark lyrics of the track and is the first released from their upcoming album Zenith. The visual features each rapper in settings that fit their individual styles: Onry being the more mysterious half and JFK having a more aggressive rap approach. Onry simply explains it as “a day in the life of your neighborhood vampire and ghost ninja out trappin’. You know, the everyday norm.”
Part of the West Coast rap collective Oldominion, JFK and Onry emerged as Grayskul nearly a decade ago. In 2005 they released their first album with underground label Rhymesayers Entertainment, titled Deadlivers. Zenith, their first release with label Fake Four Inc., drops on September 17th. The album features Aesop Rock, Raekwon, Solilla, Reva DeVito, labelmate Terra Lopez of Sister Crayon, and production by Aesop, Smoke, Void Pedal, and Moodie Black. The first single from the album, also titled “Zenith”, premiered on Complex earlier this month.
