VIDEO: SIR MICHAEL ROCKS – FOREIGN FEATURES (DIRECTED BY MIKE CARSON)

Illroots‘ Mike Carson commanded directorial duties and Mike Waxx got behind the camera for this new joint from Sir Michael Rocks of The Cool Kids entitled “Foreign Features“, produced by Tye Hill from The Productionix. The joint itself is superb, and Mikey rocks over it with ease. Carson does his thing from a directorial angle too, quite simple yet very effective. Kudos, sirs.
