The Video:
Last week, SL Jones released his new mixtape, Way Of Life No Hobby. The 13-track effort, hosted by Don Cannon, saw Jones working exclusively with up-and-coming Atlanta producer Metro Boomin, and collaborating with artists like Killer Mike, Kevin Gates, Starlito, Trouble, and Mibbs (of Pac Div), and already the tape has earned solid feedback and reviews, with Fact Magazine writing that, “SL Jones and Metro Boomin prove a potent duo.”
Today, with a rollout from VEVO, SL Jones is back with the first video from the tape, for lead single “Big Bank (No Ones).” The video, shot and directed by Payne Lindsey for Signal Point Studios, catches Jones comfortably in his element, riding in the back of eye-catching old school Chevy truck, girl by his side as he raps the energetic and defiantly rambunctious lyrics.

In 2012, SL Jones released Paraphernalia, a collaborative effort with producer DJ Burn One that included features from Freddie Gibbs, Rittz, and more. To start 2013, SL Jones released an EP, Trapper’s Delight, produced by M16 and hosted byHoodrich/Grand Hustle’s DJ MLK, , and now, SL has released his new mixtape, Way Of Life No Hobby, produced by Metro Boomin and hosted by Don Cannon, out now via LiveMixtapes.
