I recently attended a video shoot for The Furious 1 Mr
Styles’ new visual “Henny Heiny”. The
evening was chockfull of entertainment and plenty of alcohol. The Western Pennsylvania rapper is evidence
that the struggle is real, but so is the Turn Up.
Western Pennsylvania is filled with talented artists and the
GMFL general is another great example. Ever
since Wiz Khalifa cracked the door for Pittsburgh, many artists have been
striving to bust down that same door to make their way to stardom.
The Furious 1 Mr Styles is no newbie to the Pittsburgh area rap
scene. In 2009 and 2011 he was voted Pittsburgh
Underground Rapper of the Year. Ten
years in the game and The Furious 1 is looking for more, which makes the title
to his upcoming album Now or Never all
the more real.
The Furious 1’s biggest hit to date is GMFL Records’ “Great D (Dick LeBeau)”. The song pays tribute to Pittsburgh Steeler
defensive coordinator Dick LeBeau. The
song was released during the Steelers deep playoff in 2011 and was received
very well from the Pittsburgh area gaining over 2,000 views daily, until that
dark day in Pittsburgh when the Steelers lost in Super Bowl XLV. After that loss, the views made a sudden
halt, but if you know Steelers Nation like I do, it only makes sense. Just a few weeks ago the tribute reemerged
and achieved recent success as it was featured on the NFL Network’s The Top
100 Players of 2014. The song was
showcased during Pittsburgh Steeler Ike Taylor’s segment. This feature on the special was huge for The
Furious 1 and now it is time to take advantage of that momentum again.
Mr Styles along with his GMFL cohorts Prezident Miller, D to
the OG, and Unknown are looking to be the area’s next big thing and even though
it seems like work at times, The Furious 1 always makes it look like fun. His “Henny Heiny’ track is his latest
tribute and this time around he is dedicating his music to his Saturday
nights. The video shoot was dope and trust
me, no acting was involved. The squad
definitely put on that night and green bottles were everywhere.
The Furious 1 Mr Styles’ anticipated album Now or Never drops this fall so be on
the lookout. In the meanwhile, check out
the video that made for one hell of a Saturday night.
