Paying homage to J.R. Swinga’s original 90's hit “Chocolate City” music video directed by Will Packer and Rob Hardy, also shot on the set of Florida A&M University, Cap 6 delivers a modern installment to this kick back HBCU anthem.
Florida A&M University is the environment that helped shape and support Cap 6 as a group and their music, so it is fitting that their Chocolate City music video also pays respect to the stomping grounds that has bred plenty of talent before them.
The 5 member Hip-Hop Collective released Chocolate City as a part of their Summer Jelly 2: Harvest Season mixtape back in 2015, however the long awaited visuals for the track will be released early this summer.
With its old school vibe, HBCU pride and pro-black message the video instantly connects with HBCU students and Alumni, especially those who’ve attended FAMU.
