808INK’s second album ‘Hungry‘ spawns a new set of visuals in the form of ’45 With Sam’, a colourful video set to a track “designed to have the ladies shaking their tail feathers on the dancefloor.” The track is undoubtedly a stand-out on an album well-worthy of its spot on our top 10 of 2016,…

‘Q’d Up’ is taken from 808INK’s ‘Billy’s Home‘ – “the gulliest album of 2015”. As per the the track itself, the first section of the video is unsettling and assertive, kicking off with MC Mumblez Black Ink taking centre stage.
