After debuting his new 4/20 anthem, “Blowin’ Smoke,” on the most glorious day of the year for lovers of Merry Jane, North Carolina emcee Ron Beatty shares the song’s official music video, premiered (6/14/2018) on 2DopeBoyz.
“My childhood. My adolescent days. I spent the most time reflecting on shit I hadn’t even experienced yet. A combination of being before my time and manifesting. Just thinking and planning. Through the pain and good times, we blow smoke to let go and keep going. I wanted to capture that feeling while making this video. Even though 4/20 is a rather fun holiday for smokers and marijuana lovers worldwide, this record has a serious tone and put me in a rather dark place while creating it. It was the first record I recorded during my trip to Denver as soon as I landed. And I was high as shit on a strain known as ‘Cindy White.’” – Ron Beatty
