Esh & Arc, “Live It Up (‘Til The Buzz Dies Down)”
Weekend At Bernie’s is re-born on Esh & Arc’s “Live it Up (‘Til the Buzz Dies Down)”, the first clip off the Boston hip-hop duo’s debut LP, Death Doesn’t Want You, which drops January 22 via AR Classic Records. The video was directed by Xander Hayes, and shot in collaboration with Downlow Productions. “This song is one of a handful of dark party jams on the record, so we wanted some sort of lighthearted, but actually pretty fucked up, visual representation of that concept,” says Esh. “So, I came up with the idea of two nondescript gentleman dragging my fresh corpse through a typical Allston house party, Weekend-at-Bernie’s-style. The nondescript gentlemen are never acknowledged, and none of the party-goers realize that I’m dead. What starts as a typical party gets progressively weirder, with different vices being represented in a number of different rooms of the house. It has a wacky Dante’s Inferno-vibe and I’m pretty sure it is the first rap video with a pegging scene in it, haha.”
