Uppercut

We recently teamed up with editor Paul La Calandra @ Uppercut and directors +jacksonkarinja to create the sound design and mix on this epic music video for Cash Lansky's latest release!

Independent artist Cash Lansky teams up with directors +jacksonkarinja and editor Paul La Calandra to take a ride with the grim reaper through the high desert. In the single “OPP”, Cash addresses social injustice, the state of the world we live in, and the cloud of death that surrounds these subjects. Even with death dragging him away, Cash can’t be stopped from rapping about what he believes in. The film sets the tone for his highly anticipated album "Cash is King" dropping next month.

A sad day to honor an amazing musical legacy.
