Behind the scenes of "Jordans Under Dickies (Remix)", Dirty Rotten Skoundrelz featuring Bun B of UGK


On Saturday, August 31, 2013 the Dirty Rotten Skoundrelz (Big Suave and Don Claude) of Zu Nation Media Group joined forces with Bun B, the surviving member of the legendary UGK to shoot the video for their single, "Jordans Under Dickies (Remix)". And of course, The Urban Advocate was on the set getting all the behind the scenes footage. The original version of the video, which was shot and directed by Shun Atkins of Ovid Media, was released in 2010.


Adding Bun B to the song and shooting a new video, with a new story line has given this song new life. This time around the video was shot at Centre, an exclusive streetwear store at Mockingbird Station in Dallas, TX. The Dirty Rotten Skoundrelz were joined by other members of the Zu Nation Media Group including Earl Ray Da Ogre and Pharoah Da Don, who appeared on the original version of the song, as well as C.G. (the song's producer) and Chad DJ Chad. Dallas showed up in a major way to show their support for their favorite sons. Among the names that were seen on the set for the video, Hezeleo (UGK Records), Elipse Darkness (rapper), Vincent "Heartbreak" Tucker (The Vincent Tucker Radio Show), Go DJ Dirty Rae (Go DJs), Sandy Colman (Don Colman Clothing), Ernest "Logik" Jabati (Urban Testament Clothing), Ra'koo Harris (Ra'koo Nation) and many others.  The video was shot and directed by Jason Robbins and Jonathan Scott, respectively. As far as Bun B, well, he lived up to his legendary status. Performing with the keen sensibilities of a true veteran and graciously posing for every picture request.


The Dirty Rotten Skoundrelz have been fairly busy this summer. Aside from shooting this video, the duo was also seen performing at Kixpo 2013 at the Irving Convention Center this past August. If this is any indication of the year coming up for Zu Nation Media Group, this may mean a changing of the tide. Stay tuned to The Urban Advocate...in an upcoming installment of The Underground Access, we will bring you some of the action that went on behind the scenes.
