So it's finally here.  Our first Music Video.

We posted up an ad on Craigslist about a couple months back where we were looking for music video directors.  It was then we ran into Rico Roman, a guy who does metal videos and films live rock bands doing the damn thing.  He was kind enough to take a risk on us to further his horizons (and ours in return) in filming this video for "Leave Me This Way" which is more of a serious piece of video art if nothing else, that we felt fit well with the song and the vision Status was going for.

And now its finally here.  Thanks to Rico Roman and Status Reign, and Bekuh for all playing a hand in filming this video and making it beautiful and amazing.  We only hope you think the same, and if you do - share it with your friends and help us spread the word!  Don't forget that you can catch Status Reign performing on 8/10 at the Fine Line Music Cafe, and you can also catch him on 8/11 at Honey.  Make sure you gather up your envoy of friends and join us, cause these are nights you don't want to miss.

Most importantly, stay tuned, we got tons more coming your way, especially yet another tour (!) that's happening real soon.  Prepare yourselves!

Peace,

Egypto
