Local MC and Essential Vitamins Crew affiliate Mic Excel recently dropped a new video for "Dear Prudence," a tribute to the late Beatles singer John Lennon and "every brilliant mind that passed away before their time." With guest vocals from Melissa Coccionitti and a gritty, melodic beat from EVC producers Cove and DJ Optimus Prime, Excel delivers lines about his past, getting older, and wishing he could sing in his typically self-reflective manner. The Mouse Media productions video for the track includes the Buffalo landmark North Park Theater and a vivid reenactment of Lennon's tragic death as Mic Excel is gunned down walking home to end the clip. While it serves as a painful reminder of the loss of a brilliant artists over thirty years ago, the honest lyricism and evocative instrumental make for a fitting tribute to a legendary songwriter.
