Meekz 'Respect The Come Up' by KC Locke

Rob Ulitski - 3rd June 2021

Meekz takes to the skies in KC Locke's cinematic promo for Respect The Come Up. 

Representing the artist's climb to the top of the music game - and the hustle and grind that comes with the journey - we see Meekz performing whilst flying high above the London skyline in a custom graffiti helicopter. 

The stakes are raised in this concept, and the action-packed visuals are immediately arresting and engaging. 

Performing at these heights is one thing - shooting there is another, and DoP Phil Artnz (along with the entire creative and logistical team) have done a brilliant job capturing the footage needed for the ambitious project. 

What's next for Meekz and KC Locke? If we're looking upwards, the next logical step is outer space...

KC LOCKE:

I’ve never seen a video with an artist hanging out while flying over London - so I decided to make it happen... 

"I love to push the boundaries and try new things in every project I do and make statement pieces of work. I feel like my previous Meekz videos have done this so I had to raise the bar again once more.

"I’ve never seen a music video before with an artist hanging out while flying over London, so I decided to make it happen for real and take two helicopters out over the capital. We planned to shoot at sunset and the weather was on our side which came out so beautiful."
