March 10, 2015  •  Leave a Comment

Funk Volume's Jarren Benton releases the latest video from the opening track to his Slow Motion EP, "You Don't Know Me" feat. Hemi. The performance-based Patrick Lawler and Cameron Alexander-directed visuals features the Atlanta-based MC as he bullies a Kato-produced track that serves as a callous warning to not underestimate him as your typical rapper.
 
 
 
In January, the 2014 XXL Freshman class "People's Choice" winner released his Slow Motion EP in memory of friend/manger Jahmal "Slow Motion" Pryor. The eight-track EP featured appearances from Jon Connor, ¡Mayday!, Rock City, Sy Ari Da Kid, Hemi, Sareena Dominguez and Funk Volume family Hopsin, Dizzy Wright and SwizZz with production from Justin Padron, M16 and Funk Volume's in-house, go-to producer Kato.  Fans can purchase the EP on iTunes at http://smarturl.it/slowmotion or a hard copy at http://myfunkvolume.com/store.
 
One of the most successful independent hip-hop record and production companies in music today, fan of hip-hop music can catch the collective out at SXSW for their Funk Volume showcase at Red Seven on Friday March 20th from 8pm-2am.
