Austin-based hip-hop artist/producer Clemits has really been putting in ground work in anticipation of his upcoming instrumental release, Cult Classic. After dropping a pair of singles via multiple streaming services, Clemits has released a third single, Selfish Summer, via music video. The song is a mellow affair, with a hypnotic finger-picking sample surrounded by traditional boom-bap drums. The video, however, is a celebration of solitude and doing the things that make you happy regardless of (and as long as they don’t harm) those around you. Josiah Panella captures Clemits as he ignites fireworks, takes a pedicab and bikes around Austin, and eventually ends up back in the lab working on more beats. Overall, the entire presentation is memorable, definitely something that Austinites can be proud of, and another notch in the belt for Clemits as he continues to rise.
