Draze – Irony on 23rd
“In his new Irony on 23rd music video, Draze, offers the nation a front row seat to one of the countries most heated debates concerning the impact of recreational cannabis retail outlets on communities. Set to the soulful sounds of rhodes keys and a live saxophone Irony On 23rd captures the thoughts, pain, and reactions of a community experiencing gentrification. Through the power of story, Draze paints a picture of how numerous ironies appear to meet at the intersection of 23rd and Union. The storyline focuses on Uncle Ike’s, one Washington’s States top Pot shops which has moved within a few feet of one of the communities most prominent African American Churches.”
