Multi platinum and two-time Juno award winning Halifax based hip-hop artist Classified is proud to reveal the official video for track “Noah’s Arc” on Complex. Off of his upcoming full length, the cleverly titled single comes in anticipation of Greatful’s release on January 15 and layers a booming baseline with feathery piano melodies showcasing the rapper at his creative best.
The video mirrors the introspective tone of the song, assembling a spotlight lit grand pianist with images of corruption outlined in the emotionally charged and poignant lyrics. Both Classified and Saukrates appear in the video, trekking a cityscape to illustrate the powerful message of the song.
