"What we are aiming to accomplish with this video is to show the rest of the world that Vancouver isn't all boom bap, back pack rappers and mountains. I believe that I represent an extremely prevalent facet of Van City which is under represented in urban art on a national / international scale. I want to tell our story." – Brevner
Shaped by his Trinidadian and Japanese roots, Vancouver-based Brevner is an artist on a tear. Some people first sampled Brevner’s artistry when he co-directed and starred in the late Chinx & French Montana’s 2014 “Feelings” hit video, which got 8.4 million views in its first week. Others recently peeped his searing seven minute viral diss video of Madchild on "Waterloo (The Jitters Story)" in November 2015 that quickly racked up 200K views (in 2012 Brevner was featured in and produced “Jitters” with Madchild of Swollen Members and Dutch Robinson of The Ohio Players. The single propelled the Dopesick album to #1 on the overall Canadian iTunes chart, as well as #6 on its US counterpart). Others know Brevner as a Leo Award winning, and Much Music Video and Juno Award (Canada’s equivalent to the Grammy’s) nominated artist whose arrival in Vancouver has marked the start of a new generation of game changers.
