Dijon, Devontay & Lashay | Burna Boy Ft Stormzy Music Video

Meji Alabi has directed several videos for Burna Boy, including some proper blockbusters. But have any been as powerful as this?

In visualising the sombre sentiments of the Stormzy-featured Real Life, Burna Boy gave Alabi licence to tell a story about the difficulties for Afro-Carribean people in London now. The result is a tour de force; a compelling mini-drama where the complexity of people's lives, navigating what is 'right' and 'wrong', is highlighted by the different routes taken by twin brothers, and a pointless murder. 

With a standout performances by Devontay and Dijon Graham as the brothers, Alabi creates a world on a West London estate populated with believable characters, sketched into life by his direction and Jaime Ackroyd's camera. 

We supplied twin leads Devontay and Dijon along side the wonderful Lashay.
