The men from the South Korean hip-hop label, Hi-Lite Records, have collaborated on a new fire track. It's called "Break Bread," and features Reddy, Sway D, Paloalto, YunB, G2, Huckleberry P and Camo Starr.
The music video just dropped on Jan. 31, and it starts with Reddy as he gets out of a van, and checks out his reflection, in the vehicle's window. It then continues with his rap on a nice beat, as he heads on to the office, where the rest of the team picks up the flow, with a tour of Hi-Lite Records.
The five minute and 35 seconds video, is simple, and features the rappers boasting. The video is good, but if some fans could add one thing to it, that would be to have subtitles in English. You can check out the mv below. "Break Bread," and another new song, "Homecoming," are now available on Apple Music, iTunes Store and Spotify.
(UPDATE: 02/02/18 - Subtitles have been added to the video)
