Toats Orig Presents Tommy Too's New Video: "Get It Good"


Wacko art brand, Toats Orig, presents a new video with Buffalo rapper Tommy Too styling, at what is very clearly the Buffalo Zoo, his new track "Get It Good" [MD SOD AMINALS EDiT]I think that's the allusion to the zoo itself.

Definitely a solid effort on this video. The simple visual, directed by Malt Disney, was partially zazzed up with interesting shots, cuts, and effects. Tommy Too's animated expressions (see above photo) completed the "zazziness," with his "I don't get it, mans." The beat is 80s/early 90s-era simple and sweet, while his delivery is on point and as entertaining as his facial expressions.

I give a B++ for the vid - check it out and support the Toats Orig brand by watching their many other videos and Tommy Too, by replaying "Get It Good."
