Video: Sleepy Hallow – “Breakin Bad (Okay)” ft. Sheff G
The East Flatbush Rising Star Connects With His Close Friend Sheff G to Visualize a Highlight From DON’T SLEEP
The Video:
A nimble melodist and a visceral storyteller, Sleepy Hallow arrived fully-formed at the forefront the Brooklyn drill scene. Forever staying a step ahead of the Opps and the Feds, Sleepy shares “Breakin Bad (Okay),” his new video. Produced by Great John, who cooks up a hard-hitting track with crisp Spanish-influenced guitar and skeletal percussion, “Breaking Bad” is an ideal canvas for stick talk, as Sleepy goes bar-for-bar with Sheff G to establish his street bonafides: “Cook up like I’m Walter, should’ve been on Breaking Bad,” rhymes Sleepy. Echoing the spirit of Walter & Jesse’s shambling early days in the acclaimed AMC series, Sleepy and Sheff eke out an epic escape in the new video, sneaking out their brownstone window and jumping in a Wraith to evade an aggressive and armed SWAT team. “Breakin Bad (Okay)” is the latest video from DON’T SLEEP, following last month’s breezily melodic “I Get Luv” (over 200k YouTube views).
With the lion’s share of the production handled by Great John, DON’T SLEEP finds the 19-year-old rapper thriving in his transition from drill scene supporting player to charismatic leading man, weaving through the tuneful instrumentals with his slightly-accented timbre. Throughout the tape, Sleepy spins detailed street tales, whether he’s crusading against goofies and lames on “2 Fake” (800k streams on YouTube audio, striking out like a coiled animal on the Pitchfork-approved “Dis Summah,” or trying to win female affection on the confident “Bestie.” Featuring multiple appearances from Sheff G, DON’T SLEEP peaked in the top 15 of Apple Music’s all-genre album charts.
