	Video: Copywrite - "More Sorrow" Ft. Illogic	07.18.2012


	God Save The King: Proper English Version Scheduled For August 7 Release; New Single In Dedication To Copywrite's Grandmother

The Video: This past February, Copywrite released God Save The King, which wound up being not only some of his most personal work to date but also some of his most critically acclaimed. Now, on August 7th, Copy will team back up with his label Man Bites Dog Records for the worldwide release of *God Save The King: Proper English Version. The album will include a handful of new exclusives, in addition to a number of remixes of God Save The King* standouts, featuring a collection of the UK's biggest rappers, a list that includes Context, Dru Blu, Mystro, SAS, Akala, Iron Braydz, and more. Today, Copywrite is excited to release a video for the album's latest single, "More Sorrow" which features Copywrite's childhood friend Illogic. For fans of God Save The King, the song's title will sound familiar - "Sorrow" was one of the album's standout tracks, as Copywrite used the song to deal with recent loss. "More Sorrow" is in dedication to Copywrite's grandmother, and the song was written and recorded the same night that she passed away, minutes before Copywrite was able to get to the hospital. "Walked in the hospital room, you were already gone," raps Copywrite, reliving the events of the evening. "I kissed you on your forehead and held your sweaty palm." The song is produced by Stu Bangas, who, together with Vanderslice, will release Diggaz With Attitude on August 28th, and it was Stu's beat that brought the pain and emotion out. The song is not all gloomy thoughts, though, as Copywrite turns towards his faith for resolution. "The song still has a triumphant vibe to it," explains Copywrite, "which is why I decided to talk about Jesus. This life is a Rubix Cube, but there is a way out of it and to be victorious." The video, directed by R.M.L., initially incorporated a narrative structure, but Copywrite and the director later decided to stray from that narrative in favor of a more raw and interpersonal display of emotion. The result is a video that allows Copywrite to command the viewer's attention, while putting the emphasis on Copy's lyrics.

The Background: Copywrite is no stranger to the hip-hop scene. Emerging from the Columbus, Ohio, underground, he initially gained attention as a member of the crew MegaHertz, or MHz. He was also a member of The Weatherman, a hip-hop supergroup boasting names like Aesop Rock and Cage. Copy made a name for himself as a solo artist the release of his debut album, *The High Exulted, which included production from longtime collaborator RJD2, in 2000, and since then has busied himself with various guest appearances, before teaming back up with MHz for the release of Table Scraps, a compilation project including rare cuts and b-sides. In 2010, Copywrite signed with Man Bites Dog Records* and released his sophomore solo album, *The Life and Times of Peter Nelson. He followed that album in February 2012 with God Save The King, and now, on August 7th, Copywrite will release God Save The King: Proper English Version, which will include a handful of new exclusives, in addition to a number of remixes of God Save The King* standouts, featuring a collection of the UK's biggest rappers, a list that includes Context, Dru Blu, Mystro, SAS, Akala, Iron Braydz, and more.
