I grew up with the dude who directed these two Pearl Dragon videos. He’s a talented guy. And experimental as well, judging from his latest project that blurs the line between performance art, documentary, and straight up comedy.

It’s the hip-hop “Rockefeller Skank!” Pearl’s understated performance is classic.

The South End is captured beautifully in this video. Pearl Dragon shows flashes of the potential that’s now fully realized as a member of his current group, Champagne Champagne.
