WES NIHIL - “IT IS WHAT IT IS“ - PROD. BY STU BANGAS - (OFFICIAL VIDEO)

It is important to never forget where you come from. Much the same as a tree, roots support us and make us stronger. Without roots, we could not grow or be able to reflect how far we have come. Above all, roots keep us grounded and always in touch with reality. New Jersey bar-spitter Wes Nihil felt compelled to remind the world that he hasn’t forgotten where his story began, the lawless concrete jungle of Newark’s South Street, the same place HBO presented in the critically acclaimed documentary “Life Of Crime“. Wes links with flourishing beat-scientist, Stu Bangas, to deliver “It Is What It Is“, an ode to his hard-knock origins and a sonic alter constructed to remember all the loved ones he has lost along the way. The visuals, directed by All I Know Is Goon’s John L., accurately capture an unscripted view of Newark, NJ while Wes Nihil carries out a lyrical slaughter full of passion and pain. Wes spoke further about “It Is What It Is“, adding “It is not simply about remembering where you come from. It is equally important to never forget where you are going and the real ones we lost along this journey. Rest In Peace to my family Big Rich. This one is for you!“ Twitter Handles: Wes Nihil- @WesNihilistic21 Stu Bangas- @Stu_Bangas Galactic Push (Marketing)- @GalacticPush Instagram Handles: Wes Nihil- @Wes_Nihil StuBangas- @Stu_Bangas Don Cheegro- @donCheegro All The Smoke Studios- @AllTheSmokeStudios Galactic Push (Marketing)- @GalacticPush #WesNihil #StuBangas #ItsIsWhatItIs #HBO #HBOdocumentary #LifeOfCrime #SouthStreet #BrickCity #UndergroundHipHop #NewarkNJ
