In Decemeber, SL Jones released Flight Risk, his second full mixtape and third project of 2011, and while the Little Rock native has already announced a forthcoming EP with DJ Burn One, he’s preceding that release with a string of Flight Risk visuals, the first of which is for the tape’s lead single, “Actin’ Bad.”
The song is a lyrical display of sorts, with SL flipping patterns and wordplay throughout, and the video, shot and directed by Red Audio, offers a straightforward but compelling visual that puts the track’s energy at the forefront and matches Jones’ brashly defiant tone. A mix of lively performance shots – some accompanied by a scantily clad co-star trying her hardest to steal away the spotlight – and clips of SL in a stunning old-school Chevy Impala, the viewer is placed front and center as SL cruises through the town. “I wanted to let the fans feel like they were riding shotgun with me,” explains SL, “bending corners through the neighborhood, chopping it up.”
