Oakland’s Ras Ceylon is back with the new collective Jacket FuLLA Medalz. The Collective is Ras Ceylon & Brooklyn’s Timbo King! Watch/Listen/Read below!
“A historic moment in Hip Hop unfolds as Oakland, California’s Ras Ceylon and Brooklyn, New York’s Timbo King unite, forming the conscious boom-bap collective Jacket Fulla Medalz alongside Denver, Colorado-based producer Dawit Justice. This unique collaboration transcends geographical boundaries, bringing together two distinct voices and perspectives.
To celebrate Ras Ceylon’s birthday, January 18th, Jacket Fulla Medalz release their new music video, “Go On”. More than just a song, “Go On” is a powerful anthem for personal and societal transformation. It’s a call to action to embrace a new chapter, discard disinformation, and courageously “go against the grain.” Ras Ceylon masterfully handles all rhyme duties on “Go On”, delivering a potent message of individuality and self-discovery, while verbally taking a Brooklyn neighborhood stroll over Dawit Justice’s drum-heavy hypnotic soundscape.
The music video, directed by Hostage Media, flawlessly captures the raw energy of the New York City subway, showcasing the diverse tapestry of city life, while also serving as a powerful symbol. It demonstrates how Underground Hip Hop can break through the surface, pushing the culture toward a more positive and meaningful direction – one that embodies knowledge, wisdom, and understanding. The visual culminates with Ras rhyming in front of the classic Ol Dirty Bastard memorial mural on Putnam Ave. in Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn.
While Ras Ceylon commands the spotlight with his dynamic solo performance, Timbo King makes several guest appearances throughout the music video, adding another layer of depth to the visual narrative. Ras Ceylon explained, “We encourage listeners to become value-adding assets to our broken world, we can heal Mother Earth and go on to grow on to greatness. Once we foster a deeper knowledge of self, we can then go on to transform society. It is time to go on and achieve mastery in this time of madness.”
“Go On” is the sixth music video from Jacket Fulla Medalz’s self-titled debut, an album released as a non-streaming / “physical product-only” offering. You can order it today via Chalice Row Records / Roots N Culture Shop on vinyl, CD & soap cassette tape with digital download here: http://rootsnculture.shop/product/tim… This album features guest appearances from Tragedy Khadafi, Prodigal Sunn, LA The Darkman & Buckshot.
