YouTube du Jour: Paasky

Paasky made a mark on the local hip-hop scene last winter with his mixtape Suggested Retail, helping the young rapper receive a nomination for Best Lyricist at the New Orleans Underground Hip-Hop Awards. His new mixtape, Priority Shippin’, takes Paasky’s powerful flow even further, setting it in front of head-nodding beats of slow-basting ’70s soul and Southern rap. Here’s the brand-new video for the single “Fillmore Slim,” directed by Brandan “bmike” Odums of 2-Cent Entertainment, which intersperses Paasky’s verses with footage of famous New Orleans-born pimp-turned-blues singer/guitarist Fillmore Slim.
