Talk about Black Hippy (re: the video treatment for this). Perfect guest Kendrick Lamar comes through to deliver a 'gunshot gunshot' on this Nitty Scott, MC single "Flower Child" (produced by Paul Boogie). This is Nitty's official music video fully funded by a Kickstarter campaign. That's how you do it: Support Indie Hip-Hop! Respect to those investors. Respect to Kendrick (though notably absent from the visuals) for his contribution. Respect to director Anthony Sylvester, LPZ Media and cinematographer Anthony DeRose.

"My Father's Day tribute. I hope you dig it. We shot at my sister's wedding." - Haziq Ali

Evidenced throughout the lyrics: Haziq loved his father. 6ix Shoota directed the tribute video above, giving it a home movie feel that supports the message's delivery and makes it that much more real. Play this video for "Transitioning" by Haziq Ali. If you love your dad, or lost him (or anyone) too soon, you will be touched. On second thought, you'll probably get a little misty regardless.
