Former Subkonshus recording artiste, Darrio, has shot his first official music video since his exit from the Subkonshus camp last year. The video is aligned to the edgy and sexy single ‘Friend With Benefits’ (FWB) recorded on the recently released ‘No Apology’ Riddim for Craigy T’s Gafjam Records label.
“It has been a process of revamping and reanalyzing the new image and direction for my career and organizing the flow with the new members of PROJECTDarrio, we are now ready to churn out all the new material that I have been recording and also getting the visuals out so fans can see a different side to me” Darrio explained
The Friend With Benefits’ video, shot at various locations in Kingston, detail a girl cheating on her boyfriend with Darrio in private but pretends to be just friends with him in public. Darrio, when grilled about the words of the single and the motivation, says it came from a personal experience he had but declined to specify if this was a current situation.
“Almost everyone at one time or another has had this kind of friendship or interaction, so it’s relatable to most, even my own experience; past, present or future. It’s not talking about any specific girl at a specific point in time but people will speculate based on rumors who the song is about” Darrio intimated.
The Friend With Benefits Video is directed by Dameon Gayle and will be released in a matter of days. The single is one of a few singles gaining traction on Craigy T ‘s ‘No Apology’ Part 1, the riddim also includes singles from Lia Caribe ‘Unemployed’, General Degree ‘You Mi Come Fah’, Hawkeye ‘Champion Jockey’ and Kenny Smith and Bay C ‘Sorry’.
Darrio is also looking at releasing another video for his ‘Explode’ single recently shot in New York. He will be heading to The Tri State on March 16 for the EXPLODE video launch in Magnet Lounge Queens New York and then returns to Jamaica to prepare for his performance at Trelawny Jerk Festival on March 27.
The ‘Friend With Benefits’ single is also available for purchase on ITunes.
