Jess2Sick (née Jessica Hu) adds her twist to Gucci Mane and Drake’s “Back on Road,” off his latest album Everybody Looking, with a video that merges drift culture and Hip Hop.
Jess’ inspiration behind this tribute to Guwop—which she choreographed and co-directed—comes from her Northwest roots. She represents Seattle, also known as the 206, as well as The Odd Youth Culture, a group of creatives who strive to be themselves and embrace “weird” as the new cool. It was only right that the 206 adds their flare alongside Drake’s the 6 and Gucci’s East Atlanta’s Zone 6.
The video was shot above a rooftop overlooking the Seattle’s skyline, bringing together local talent for a minute. The 30-second clip is directed by Harry Clean of Detooz Films. Jess2Sick is joined by dancers Louisa Meng and Stephanie Mendoza who put together sharp choreography over production by Murda Beatz.
Battling with demons of her own and cultural conflicts that have restricted her to be fully creative, Jess is too “Back on Road” to success, feeling limitless and ready to leave her legacy.
