Albany, GA Duo Blyke_Love Drop the Music Video For Their Song "Juneteenth Everyday"

DCWS shared the “Juneteenth Everyday” single by Albany, GA based duo Blyke_Love earlier this year and now they are back with the official music video which was shot and directed by videographer Tony Perkins (DBTP) in Albany at a former slaveholder estate named Resora.

The Resora was one of the biggest slaveholder estates in Georgia but in 2011, a black owned organization called "New Communities Inc." purchased the land and they're using it to farm and give back to the people.

Speaking about the music video, Blyke_Love says, "It's a beautiful place & the energy there is indescribable. You can feel the history. Knowing this, we had to shoot the video there. Thankfully, Karen Lawrence, helped make it happen! The shack that we walk out of in the video is where the slaves were kept. Us coming out of it is symbolic of us living in our freedom, & paying homage to those that had to endure suffering there. We are thankful for everything our ancestors left behind to aid us, & guide us, & none of us would be here without the work they did for our future, as a ppl. This song/video is just a small way to say thank you to them, & give power & inspiration to our ppl. The video intertwines the concept of slavery with the current pandemic we are facing with coronavirus”.

In the video, Blyke_Love escapes the plantation, in pursuit of a rumored place where the air is safe to breathe, and they can be free. The “Juneteenth Everyday” video symbolizes the freedom, and the coming together for that freedom, that we believe is necessary in order for all black and brown ppl to live better lives. "It's too much of a men vs women thing, when we both need each other to build a better future for ourselves, & our kids to live in. That's why you see us working together, & sticking together, to escape & find our place of freedom in the video", says Jo3 h3nson. "We hope the video gives ppl a breath of fresh air, hope, and a sense of freedom for the future as we are in unfamiliar times, and transitioning into a new era", Briley says.
