Huey To Release Trilogy of Web-Only Videos That Showcase Another Side to the "Pop, Lock, and Drop It" Star
11.08.2007
Two of the Three Videos feature Non-Album Tracks
(New York, NY November 8, 2007) Jive Records & Hitz Committee artist Huey is releasing a web centric trilogy of music videos aimed at his fans who look primarily to the web for music and entertainment. The videos, which are available for viewing on all the major video sharing websites, reveal a different side of Huey that fans of his number one summer hit "Pop, Lock, & Drop It" may not know of.
Huey, who is best known for his anthem “Pop, Lock & Drop It” and launching the dance craze he nicknamed "The G5," has not only been touring the country promoting his debut album, Notebook Paper, but has also been working with the mayor of his hometown, Kinloch, right outside St. Louis, to rebuild the community. Says Huey, "My neighborhood used to have a sense of community but now it's dead due to drugs and things getting too hot there so I'm investing my money to rebuild youth centers, libraries, schools, and stores." The destitution that plagues St. Louis is portrayed in one of the three new videos titled, "Nobody Loves the Hood."
The three videos are meant to be seen in a certain order as they reveal what a day in the life of Huey is like. First is the non-album track, "Adidas" which shows Huey visiting the "I Am St. Louis" store to pick up some fresh new Adidas gear. The next video is "Aye," which shows everyone in STL having a good time and celebrating life on a hot summer day. Next is the third and final video for another non-album track, "Nobody Loves the Hood." Explains Huey, "The videos show what a typical day is like where I call my boys up, we get some new Adidas clothes and then we're feelin' good so we party and holler "Aye," but then a gunshot rings out and the emotions kick in and we're reminded that we still got a lot of problems in the hood." The videos can be seen on Huey's YouTube channel, http://youtube.com/user/HueyPopLockDropSTL
Huey is currently busy working on a DVD, a HueyTV website, gearing up for a tour with R. Kelly, raising his baby girl, and working on developing his new label Huey Records. His hit single "Pop, Lock & Drop It" has sold almost 2 million ringtones and over 1 million digital downloads.
