Following the release of his highly acclaimed new EP, Deserted Oceans, iconic New Mexico artist, Def-i, drops the video for his second single, “Pearls.”

“Pearls” showcases the depth of Def-i’s skills on the mic; his lyrics are purposeful and his wordplay is nuanced. Veteran SoCal artist Ariano’s production is a knocking blend of jazzy and spiritual undertones.

The video for “Pearls” mimics Def-i’s music…it’s clean, deceptively complex and stands on its own without being held up by distracting fillers. The imagery focuses solely on Def-i, switching from the pristine backdrop of the desert juxtaposed against the grit and garbage of back alleys.

A Thicity production, “Pearls” is the first video dropped from Deserted Oceans.
