Dave East drops a short film for “The Hated” featuring Nas.
After giving us his new ‘Paranoia 2‘ project a couple of days ago, Dave East revisit the original ‘Paranoia‘ project from last year for a new music video. The video is a short film for his collaboration “The Hated” with his Mass Appeal Label boss Nas.
He delivers both songs this week in his brand-new short film, The Hated. East tells the entire tale of Corey and Anthony, a.k.a. “Ant Live,” with Nas on the opener. Ant and his right-hand guy Corey began working hard together after Ant became cold-blooded and suspicious after witnessing his comrade die at a young age. Up until Anthony was apprehended by NYPD and sent to Rikers, they were bringing in huge sums of money.
Dave appears in the video as a New York drug dealer. The Kid Art-directed video follows Dave and one of his lads as they deal with some significant legal issues while the streets explode in chaos. We watch as a story unfolds around the themes of betrayal, devotion, and anguish. Nas, while being featured on the original single, does not appear in the video.
