Tiggs Da Author ft: Nines - Fly Em' High (Official Video)

Tiggs Da Author today drops the thrilling vampiristic video for his new single ‘Fly Em’ High’ - featuring UK rapper Nines, and is taken from his stellar debut album, ‘Blame It On The Youts’ - out March 12th on Alacran Records.

Directed by Shan Phearon (Mabel, Bree Runway, Royal Blood), and featuring Tiggs as the storytelling preacher man, and NINES as a victim of two outcast bloodthirsty teen vampires, the thrilling new video for ‘Fly ‘Em High’ is a powerful depiction of today’s cracks in society. Tiggs and NINES keep watch of the traphouse where vampirism rules - a powerful metaphor for today’s youth, in a broken, failing system.

Tiggs says of its themes; “The video is a future dystopian London where the youth have turned into vampires. Instead of drugs, they sell and take blood. The whole concept is based on being in the trap house - a metaphor for being in an actual real life trap themselves, and, like vampires, they cannot change and are in a cycle which they can't get out of. My role in the video is the narrator/preacher, trying to save their souls, and baptising the vampire youth is a very literal metaphor for trying to show them that there is another way of life.”
