The self-portrait of a man torn between two languages and two cities.

Pretty Ricky did it again with their new hit single "Tipsy In Dis Club". Pretty Ricky reached out to the "Mayweather Live" show and invited us to come and do the behind the scenes for the video and the footage couldn't be any better. From the 100+ ladies, the foam, the endless Nuvo, and on point scenes this is one behind the scenes you have to watch.

Six young black men from Akron, Ohio, enter college, determined to redefine society's images and low expectations. Despite their confidence, the stark reality of being away from home brings a series of crises. Well trained in critical and metaphorical thinking, and unusually articulate about their inner lives, each of the protagonists guides us to his core. Since sixth grade, they have been part of an innovative mentoring program called 'Alchemy, Inc.' that uses mythological stories, drumming and writing. In the twice-yearly reunion workshops everyone speaks of his trials and his triumphs with authenticity, intelligence, honesty and heart. In turns quiet, thoughtful and exuberant, the six protagonists grow before our eyes, whether navigating racial provocations, or seeking support with new friends, estranged fathers and wise grandmothers.
