Los Angeles emcee/producer Chris Clarke presents the Muttjob-directed music video for “Beads”, the self-produced single from his new album The Handpicked, featuring Blu, Thundercat, Sleepy Brown of Outkast fame, Smooth Bee from Nice & Smooth, Double K from People Under The Stairs, Computer Jay and more. Chris is son of bass legend Stanley Clarke. The Handpicked also features P.U.D.G.E., Sum, Ali Abnormal, J Thorn, Ronald Bruner Jr, Big Sin, Kamasi Washington, Taylor Graves, BLVME, Voy, Lil Miss, JTowers, Ahmad Rashad Jr. and Bei Ru. “The Beads thing is real to me because they bounce, like I do,” says Chris. “I f**ks with real gemstones: tiger’s eye, quartz and adventurine. I don’t really wear plastic shits for the most part and rarely wear the wooden ones. Gemstones have special properties to them which is a cool thing to look into. I also felt like, gold is great and so are diamonds but people ain’t hip to the other things they can get into, and it’s also more accessible to people who ain’t millionaire’d out able to buy diamond necklaces. I’m into all that.””
