In regards to his video (which had thousands of views within the first hour after being posted) Supaman says, “The opening scene of his new video “Alright” is no less than a movie! Traveling back in time to visit your ancestors in the Delorean time machine? It doesn’t get any better than that!
Supaman offered the following description of his Alright video:
“Alright takes you on a visually stimulating journey of nostalgia from the 1800s to the 1980s and on to the present day. If that wasn’t enough Supaman proves he’s no amateur when it comes to delivering thought-provoking bars by teaming up with one of Dr. Dre’s favorite producers, multi-platinum Grammy award-winning Nottz, accompanied by the ever-so haunting voice of Neenah from the Netherlands.”
He also thanked several people on his YouTube channel page.
“It was a blast collaborating with Implement Productions and the Montana Film Office on this one-of-a-kind vision!”
