Pinqy Ring ft. DJ NonStop | Her Story | Video
Pinqy Ring, the Puerto Rican woman rapper from Chicago, releases her first music video upon her return to rap from teaching. After being laid off from her GED instructor position because the non profit organization closed, she realized it was time to put a concerted effort towards her dreams because that is what she taught her students to do.
Directed by Matthew VanGronigen.
Produced by Slot-A
Featuring WGCI DJ and DMX turntable-ist DJ NonStop.
The self-titled video aims to shine a light on Pinqy's impending rise to the top. A DJ Premier-esque track, NonStop scratches vocals from a Nas and Az song, as well as a Cam'ron song, and even includes a little Phife Dawg to embody and highlight both Non and Pinqy Ring's love for Hip Hop. By showing moving visuals of the hard work she puts into rap and the things she values most - Chicago, community, Puerto Rican nationalism, self-pride and her friends, Pinqy Ring shines... so act like y'all know!
