The Video:
It’s been two months since John Dew dropped Tech-NASA, and since then he has remained hard at work. The latest release from the Houston emcee is a video for "King On A Throne," the song that served as the lead single from Dew's new album and fast became a fan-favorite "My intentions were for people to receive this video as it was meant, simple and to the point," explains Dew. "I didn’t want to have to many distractions, I wanted the viewer to be focused on my lyrics. I needed to portray how it feels to be on top of the world, while staying grounded in the streets.”
The video, directed in a collaborative effort by JUEvents and John Dew, highlights specific parts of Houston that Dew believed to be important to the culture of the city. “We did a driving scene to represent what my Houston culture is about," explains the H-Town spitter. "The rooftop scene was just to give things a larger feel. And some alley shots for depth.”

Background:
Coming from the metropolitan concrete jungles of Houston, John Dew is preparing to return with his latest release Tech-NASA (Taking Earth Children Higher: Navigating Audio Sonic Amplifications). Drawing creative inspiration from his hometown's alias Space City, and his entrepreneurial spirit as a promotional hip-hop guru, he creates a sound that is as authentic as the star brazen night skys of his birthplace. As a founding member of Council Music Records, his newest project combines Houston's most notable characteristics of the struggle pursued by the ambition. Teaming up with producer DJ Cozmos, he creates a definitive depiction of where Houston hip-hop is headed. With 13 booming space-age tracks, he tells stories of the inhabitants, locality, and customs that make up the environment he hails from.
