Our music video idea is showing the injustice and stereotypes that some foreign kids are treated with. Our story is actually based on a true story that my partner Joel Perez experienced. When he was in elementary school he went through something that has stuck with him ever since. That was his inspiration and now we are making it. It shows a student deciding to ditch school and wondering off around the neighborhood. These were tough and complicated times for him. Suddenly, a police officer finds him and asks him to enter his vehicle. Upon arriving back at his school he finds counselors, teachers, and his parents waiting for him. He was met with a lot of hate and stereotypical /racist judgment from the teachers and police officers. The officer even asked him to lift his shirt to check for gang related logos or tattoos. This was a clear message to Joel saying how he would be looked at and thought of in his community. Our shooting locations include his school and neighborhood. Joel wrote the song and we are working on getting the right beat fir it at the moment. We believe our style is representing a very real and serious tone about the stereotypes that many face now a days. He also says he's inspired by the work of the artist Kendrick Lamar.
