Willis - Stories of Old [Video]

Indianapolis hip hop artist Willis, just released his Game Of Thrones inspired music video for "Stories of Old". Willis produced the record himself, as he does all of his music, engineered it, mixed it, and mastered it himself. He wrote and directed the video, which was filmed by Ball State University film aficionado Nevin Markitan, who's developed a reputation for himself after having a few of his videos featured on Indianapolis news stations and media sources. This medieval short film stars up-and-coming actor Sam Anderson as the "hero" being chased by the armor-clad "villain" played by fellow Indianapolis rapper, Paper Cleveland. This video is a perfect reflection of Willis’ personality as the quiet smart kid you’d never picture rapping. It’s now safe to identify Willis as one of the most thought-provoking rappers in the city of Indianapolis. Even without the city-backing expected from such a high performing artist, Willis is providing a fresh approach to hip-hop all by being himself and being honest about it. Isn’t that all we ask for?
