Directed by Tyler Harrison for Thriving Era with an eye for urban storytelling and cinematic visuals, the “Blaq Cinema” video mirrors the raw energy and lyricism Agallah is known for, and features cameos from Purple City’s Shiest Bubz, Big Ox and M-Tundra.
Set against the stark backdrops of New York’s boroughs, the visual pulls viewers into a world where bars are bullets and every verse is a scene straight from a hood noir.
Agallah, a Brownsville legend and respected producer with credits from Sean Price to Busta Rhymes, brings his signature grit and commanding flow to tales from classic Blaxploitation flicks, while Blaq Medici delivers a suitably epic, cinematic soundscape. The chemistry between the two is undeniable—Boryoku is more than a collab, it’s a statement.
The title 暴力 BōRYOKU (“Violence”) signifies the EP’s thematic thread based on Yakuza lore — channeling the chaos, struggle, and artistry that comes from surviving and thriving in an unforgiving world. “Blaq Cinema” captures that essence perfectly: it’s lyrical, visual, and visceral.
