Elzhi’s “Memory Lane” f. Eminem, Royce da 5’9, Proof, JDilla, Baatin

With “Mem­o­ry Lane,” the lat­est video from his ac­claimed El­mat­ic pro­ject, Elzhi brings to life his deep his­to­ry with­in the leg­endary De­troit hip-​hop scene. The vi­su­als for “Mem­o­ry Lane” bring Elzhi’s au­di­ence back in time to the mid-​nineties, and in­to Mau­rice Mal­one’s Hip Hop Shop. The Shop was the heart of the De­troit hip hop scene where many col­lab­o­rat­ed, bat­tled and shared mu­sic. It was there that a young Elzhi first grabbed the mi­cro­phone to prove that he had the abil­i­ty to be­come one of the great­est rap­pers alive. Mu­sic ex­ec­u­tive and artist man­ag­er Jae Bar­ber, al­so a De­troit na­tive, pro­vid­ed an au­then­tic pic­ture with rare vi­su­als of the world Elzhi re­vis­its in his nos­tal­gic spin on Nas’ clas­sic song, “Mem­o­ry Lane.”

The video in­cludes var­i­ous artists such as Em­inem and Royce da 5’9. Amongst the many artists in­clud­ed are the late Baatin, Proof and J Dil­la. Many lis­ten­ers have called El­mat­ic one of the year’s best al­bum re­leas­es al­though it was in­tro­duced as a mix­tape due to its pop­u­lar de­mand world­wide. In­spired by its en­thu­si­as­tic re­cep­tion, Elzhi is proud to make his la­bor of love now avail­able on iTunes and many oth­er dig­i­tal out­lets, to sat­is­fy the peo­ple’s de­mand for re­al hip hop. Spe­cial thanks to Jah­ki, Dj Dez, Dj But­ter
