New York, NY (Top40 Charts/ Flying Buddha/Sony Masterworks) Celebrated GRAMMY-nominated producer and songwriter Salaam Remi is pleased to release the music video for his single "One In The Chamber," featuring GRAMMY-nominated, platinum recording artist Akon, on VEVO. This is the first video off Remi's newest album, Salaam Remi One: In The Chamber.
Robby Starbuck, who is known for his work with Snoop Dogg,
Metric and Machine Gun Kelly, directed the cinematic clip. The video stars Akon in the middle of warring crime families, with Akon's love interest playing both sides. The video plays off the song's pained lyrics of complicated relationships with several shocking plot twists and an unexpected ending.
"The song is taken to another level with the cinematic movie style video Robby has done." says Salaam.
