BLK ODYSSY SHARES NEW VIDEO FOR “SUICIDE DOORS”

BLK VINTAGE REPRISE OUT THIS FRIDAY

FEATURING MEREBA, GEORGE CLINTON, BENNY THE BUTCHER, AND BABY ROSE

Ahead of the release of his BLK VINTAGE REPRISE album, due this Friday, Austin-based artist BLK ODYSSY shares a new video for the album track “SUCIDE DOORS.” The new visual arrives closely following the previous Baby Rose-assisted single “COMPLEX OF KILLING A MAN,” and the project’s second offering “BENNY’S GOT A GUN,” featuring Benny The Butcher and George Clinton of Parliament Funkadelic. The song’s visual, directed by Jackie Radinsky, shows BLK ODDYSY in a series of conflicting flashbacks basking in newfound luxury before eventually being held captive by his former accomplices.

BLK VINTAGE REPRISE is a 6-song expansion of his debut album BLK VINTAGE released last year, and follows him being named one of NPR Slingshot’s 2022 Artists To Watch. The reprise edition, opens Juwan up even further as a songwriter, coloring in the broad perspectives he touched on with his debut with intimate stories of Black experiences. The new songs feature guest appearances from the likes of Mereba, Baby Rose, Benny The Butcher and one of Juwan’s personal heroes George Clinton of Parliament Funkadelic.

Following the album’s release, BLK ODYSSY toured alongside Brasstracks and TOBI, and completed a separate East Coast run alongside Cordae, bringing his widely-praised live show across the country. BLK VINTAGE, which was named Austin Chronicle’s #1 album of the year, bares BLK ODYSSY’s heart and soul on each track – it’s a body of work steeped in personal tragedy and his experiences as a Black man in America today that are meant to be a clear and direct testament to people like him that it’s okay to shed any hesitation and truly feel and express yourself.
