Elzhi | Febuary | Official video

LeadPoison #GLOW365 #February Pre-order 'Lead Poison' now!

Director Jae opens up the music video with some great aerial shots of Detroit during the winter before jumping into the thick of things with Elzhi laying on a bed. The story loosely follows that of the 2004 film Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, shifting between shots of a present-day and a younger Elzhi as he rides his bike with his friends down the street, attends a funeral, and falls in love. Above all, the song is an open letter to the late, great J Dilla. The video winds down with some shots of J Dilla memorabilia in Elzhi’s room and a current day Elzhi waking up, leaving us to wonder if the experiment went according to plan.

Elzhi’s new album, Lead Poison, is available for pre-order now, with an expected release date of March 25.

The first drop of "Lead Poison" from Elzhi's new album is here.

Good news for fans of grown ass man Rap: Elzhi has announced the imminent release of his long delayed Lead Poison LP. The album became mired in controversy at the end of 2015 after a fan threatened to bring a class action suit against him for collecting $37,000 for the project via Kickstarter in 2013 and failing to deliver.

About the extended delay, he told Noisey:

I’ve been away for awhile, and one of the reasons why I’ve been gone is because I’ve been getting chased by this fucking black cloud that I can’t seem to shake. The cloud has been so crazy that it’s made me look at things in ways where, you know my perception is pretty much negative. At the end of the day, the people that knew what was going on—like the people who knew that the record existed, because they heard the record—they was excited. If someone’s trying to say that I scammed them, that’s only because they don’t know and don’t have the information that we have.
