Damon Dash‘s band The Black Guns and Freeway have released the music video for “365,” the lead single and title track from the pair’s forthcoming collaborative album arriving in early 2024.
Directed by Dash and executive produced by Wesley Barnett, the visual finds the band Freeway and Dash jamming from the studio to the stage, with Free manning the mic and Dash fronting his group mates. Produced by The Black Guns, “365” is powered by live instrumentation and fuses rock and Hip-Hop, resulting in a sound the mogul and entrepreneur first helped ingratiate to Hip-Hop over a decade ago
In addition to his prominence within rap circles, Dash famously delved into the indie-rock realm with his BlakRoc venture and helped discover The Black Keys in the late ’00s. After releasing a critically-acclaimed compilation album in 2009, BlakRoc has since been envisioned into BluRoc with Dame joining in on the fun as The Black Guns’ lead singer.
According to Dash, the sound he and the band are looking to bring to the forefront consists of elements from two worlds that have brought him joy and success as an executive. “I wouldn’t categorize it as rap or Rock, it’s like rock-soul,” he exclusively told VIBE on the phone. “But again, if we’re gonna put some work on the street, it’s gotta be a drug no one ever got high off before. That’s what Roc-A-Fellas really do
Nearly three decades after cofounding the iconic record label, the Harlem native is now looking to restore the feeling fostered by him and his cohorts. One of his first moves in that quest is to align himself with former Roc-A-Fella artist Freeway, who costars alongside Dash and The Black Guns throughout 365. Damon Dash says that witnessing the strength and grace Freeway displayed in the midst of his medical issues and personal tragedy prompted him to bridge that gap and bring the Islamic emcee into the fold
