Directed by Ben Fredette, watch as We Belong To The City takes you on a trip through his stomping grounds and NYC Burroughs, with cameos from a few recognizable faces &#038; affiliates. With the first half of the video appearing grimy in black and white and following the circulation of a $1 bill around, thing&#8217;s get more colorful and smooth for the 2nd song of the video, a soulful banger accompanied by upcoming star Bj the Chicago Kid (who has worked with Kendrick Lamar, Schoolboy Q, Freddie Gibbs). With each visual a reflection of its sound, we are reminded of the juxtaposition of both the gutter and the glamor and glitz of the metropolis.<\/p>\n<p>AWAR &#038; Vanderslice &#8220;The Winning Team&#8221; hits stores on July 22nd and features appearances by Freddie Gibbs, Troy Ave, Roc Marciano, King Los, Has-Lo, BJ the Chicago Kid, Latoiya Williams, and more.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With a new album, AWAR &#038; Vanderslice &#8220;The Winning Team&#8221; release right around the corner&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"cybocfi_hide_featured_image":"","_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-80638","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-videos"],"aioseo_notices":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/pG6fW-kYC","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/80638","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=80638"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/80638\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=80638"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=80638"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=80638"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
