MF GRIMM — “Candy Rain”

Share Collapse
Music video synopsis: Candyland suffers a drought, so colorless Nerds make a prayer to open up the skies... The ancient art of rain making represented the sacred relationship between humans and the Divine, to understand these traditions is to understand the sacred connection that our ancestors have with the land. He who brings rain, brings life, and life is more powerful than death. Rain is seen as a sacred and phenomenal gift, the most explicit expression of Nature's providence. Every transcendental act of nature maybe occurs as in fulfillment of something that is arranged by a silent will, stronger and greater than ours...


The Hunt for the Gingerbread Man 2: Get the Dough” embraces the juxtaposition between a fantastical world made of candy and pastries, and the dark and unforgiving lifestyle of the veteran emcee MF Grimm. Sonically immersive, and nostalgic of an era in hip hop that celebrates pain and hardship through whimsical storytelling, this album reaches deep into the life of the protagonist Mr. Ginji Breadman aka The Gingerbread Man - and doesn’t let go until you’ve become fully invested in his tumultuous life journey in the United Cakes of America. Anthropomorphic cookies, pastries, and gingerbread men are the primary characters in MF Grimm’s tales of violence, crime, drugs, and love, in the ghetto known as Candyland.

There's a slight chance that every living person you look up to is just a DM away, that was my case with Percy Carey a.k.a. MF Grimm. Back on January, he announced on his social media the sequel to his classic album “The Hunt for the Gingerbread Man” and I just replied that i'd love to make an animated music video to help getting the word out. They said okay and sent me this beautiful new track called Candy Rain, and just like that, me and my girlfriend had 3 weeks to create art and animation on this improvised music video to match the release of the album (with fully artistic freedom to do so). Those were crunch-time days for sure but I enjoyed every second of 'em and I hope you like the final result, it was made with a mix of hand-drawn, Flash and After Effects; we're uploading making-of snippets in our account NutzenTV. Some impulses surely have unexpected rewards, Percy's response was super positive and i'm happy to say I've made a new friend. I'd strongly recommend anyone reading the graphic novel he wrote called Sentences: The Life of MF-Grimm, amazingly drawn by Ronald Wimberly and published by DC Vertigo.
