Everybody loves a good music video, or two, every now and again. However, in an age when teenagers are using YouTube as their primary search engine for media, video as a medium might be entirely more important than anything else to an artist when trying to reach their current fans and new ears.
Many Milwaukee artists have recognized this and they have been actively filming music videos with the help of videographers like Darren Cole, Adam Bowman, Shaku Mays, Damon Joy and many others.
Recently, Darren Cole has had several new music videos drop, specifically "Drifing" by Signif and "Internet Sex" by Fresh Cut Collective frontman Adebisi.
Both Signif and Adebisi call New York City home now, but both are still extremely tied to the city of Milwaukee and are often here to do gigs or to collaborate with people on new music.

Born in Milwaukee and raised in the Milwaukee suburb of Brown Deer, Concordia University Wisconsin alumnus Poppe has spent the majority of his life in or around the city and county of Milwaukee.
As an advocate of Milwaukee's hip-hop community Poppe began popular local music blog Milwaukee UP in March 2010. Check out the archived entries here.
Though heavy on the hip-hop, Poppe writes about other genres of music and occasionally about food, culture or sports, and is always ready to show his pride in Milwaukee and Wisconsin.
