We first told you about him a couple of months ago and tonight poet and rapper Rizden Claire is back with a brand new bag. Clare has put together what may prove to be a genre-defining music video for his song "Better Days" featuring Simone Williams. It was finished today and Clare stopped by our studios to show us the new multi themed production fresh off the editor's desk.
Rizden Claire,
"What I expect it to do for the album itself is to allow people to realize that there is positive messages coming from young people. And young people have a vision and they want to move on that vision but unfortunately a whole lot of stuff is not in place to assist them with their goals."
"We as entertainers and musicians can only express ourselves from the thought that was given to us from a vision from God but the thing is we can come up with a million message for changes but we can't have any change in society unless the message gets through to the elite members of society who can allow the change to happen. The video is for anybody but mainly elites so it is supposed to cause changes and if there is no changes then I just continue. Maybe I have to go to 100 or whatever but I will going until I get the message across."
While that was just a tease, Clare's music video will premier here on Channel 7 tomorrow night.
