Main Attrakionz – Do It For The Bay

Shot in Oakland...

There's a touch of psychedelia around Main Attrakionz.

Perhaps it's the production style, which seems to take Dilla's soft-as-butter beats and add a sense of dope-smoke relaxation. Maybe it's the flow, with Squadda B and Mondre M.A.N. both relaxed to point of being horizontal. Or maybe it's something in the water.

Main Attrakionz are bound by a sense of place, with debut album 'Bossalinis & Fooliyones' making frequent references to life in Oakland, California. Shooting a video for new cut 'Do It For The Bay' the group decided to do the logical thing and shoot it in the bay.

Cruising around on a borrowed boat, the industrial centre of the harbour unfolds as the camera zooms past giving a sense of background to the group. Showcasing different locations in Oakland, it probably won't please the California tourist board but it definitely aids the hype.
