About the Single: Traffic - MH the Verb (feat. Stewie) 
(Produced by Buscrates 16-Bit Ensemble)

Traffic is the first single off of my new project, Afronaut. The song itself addresses the American obsession with commercialism and money using traffic as a metaphor for how many feel in our capitalist society - simply stuck while trying to move forward. Whether it's unmanageable student loans, a poor job market, or lack of access to cash and credit, I've learned from my time working in the banking industry that most people have goals to improve their financial status in our society, but for most the system is our enemy. Over the years I’ve been trying to help educate and inform young people (especially young artists) on the importance of financial education through events and workshops, and I hope this song inspires some to think about the traps of being all consumed by material things. 

In the video, we took this opportunity to introduce the thematic symbol and concept for the Afronaut (embodied by model/artist, Minkah Taharkah).  The visuals, directed by MB Nealy and featuring animation by Annalise Murphy, depict our mythical hero exploring the Earth as she surfaces on the beach and wonders into the forest.  The video was shot in multiple locations throughout California’s Bay Area using iconic scenery from the beaches of Tennessee Cove, the legendary red wood forest of Muir Woods, and the famous graffiti and street art of San Francisco’s Clarion Alley in the Mission neighborhood. This is the first installment of our multi-media series for the project. Stay tuned for more of the Afronaut.
