RICH GET RICHER
What did life look like in July 2018, when Rich Get Richer dropped? I was living downtown in the esteemed Yorkville neighbourhood, working at Ultimate Software as a Software Test Engineer and loving every moment of it, and taking full advantage of the summer. At this point it was official - I had dropped out of Waterloo and moved onto more inspiring things - professionally, and personally.
REAL A$$ HOUSEWIFE
What can we say about Real A$$ Housewife, the song custom-made for RHOT (Toronto) star Kara Alloway? Well, it was a parody of sorts, meant to poke fun at the Housewife stereotypes, and the visuals were done (overdone?) by the usual crew. Crazy few days of filming, I'll say, but wonderful to get the vision out there once again. Reddit, Toronto Life, Post City, Slice, ET Canada, Kara's Blog
BILLIE
At the time, Billie was the largest project the crew had ever done. It was filmed over the course of 5 weekends, and spent over 50 hours in editing. It was released on November 20th, 2016. Video produced by Jordan Grant, with lots of help from close friends. This is Jordan's first 100% original song with a music video.
WATLINE BLING
WatLine Bling is a parody of Drake's viral hit Hotline Bling. It is the first JG2012 video to feature a prominent storyline, and is tailored to the University of Waterloo. In addition, all supporting cast members are University of Waterloo students, and the video features all 6 faculties of the school. Reddit, Lyrics
