Rhyme Royale VERSUS Jelluzz

Me and Tony had a chat, whilst watching the music video. We both noticed something about my video, it was hard to explain but we got there. We realsised that the original video itself of Jelluzz - Its My City, well... lets say too Americanised. I listed down some comparisions and notes below, between our video compared to his.

We didn't try to follow American RnB 'Guidelines'

He used these laser beams, which kind of confused us at first. As
we relate that convention to like an electro genre.

He put in dancers at odd parts of the video, which didn't seem
to fit in. As it looked like something out of Step Up or Save the
last dance...

He is OBSESSED with a Champagne bottle, a clear factor
that always tends to have heavy focus in an American
RnB video.



We stuck to what we knew best and tried not go down following
certain conventions. London is known for the Shisha Lounge Culture,
down famous areas, such as, Edgware Road (commonly known as
the 'Shisha Mile')

We wanted to show him doing the things, that associate with being
a don. Such as, activities like snooker.

We didn't just want to show him, as a ladies man. We wanted
to portray that he has status and authority. He is a man not to
reckon with.


We also, wanted to portray that Money is one of the main
motivations that he has.

THE MOST IMPORTANT thing, we always considered is
that we don't lose the song in always being in an club or a lounge,
because the song is about him and HIS CITY.
