| New York, NY | October 31, 2014 – This has been a huge year for Oxymorrons, having shared the stage with acts such as Common, Juicy J, Salt N Pepa, and Ludacris and being invited to perform at Funk Fest 2014 with Outkast, B.o.B, The Roots and more. Earlier this month the Queens-based alternative hip-hop group released the first single off their upcoming Complex but Basic EP (2015, TBA), “808 Clap,” with Complex Media’s DJ Booth to an overwhelmingly positive response. Now, just in time for Halloween, The Oxymorrons drop of their new video today for “808 Clap” exclusively via HipHopDX. Directed bywearaenotnatives, haunting choir vocals kick off a black and white montage of ominous figures huddled up inside of a dark warehouse. “Now, you / don’t wanna live my life, walk in my shoes / peddle on my bike,” raps K.I. as he trades verses with Dee while surrounded by a intimidating gang of masks and hoods. Imagine, the BET HipHop Awards Cipher mixed with the imagery of the movie Saw. The suspense level of “808 Clap” only increases as the guys look to escape. In Rap, it’s always survival of the fittest, with the Oxymorrons rapping their way out of any situation.
