Fueled by the visionary direction of Johann Rashid, King Cyst’s “Chinese Wind” gets awkward. Not like embarrassing, just abrasive in the same tone King Cyst sings, now just imagine his straight-muggin’, and you’ve the video for “Chinese Wind.” But there’s so much more to it than that. Like, the beginning of this video is me at every party I ever go to in Brooklyn or Bronx or the City: standing around, whistling to myself, acting like my purpose for attending the party is on its way, but not physically, just existence. And that’s what I believe Johann is working at here, especially in a conscious effort to match the serious-humor King Cyst is dishing out. Considering his consistent poker-face vibe and vocal melodies, lax’d on the chill, I’m super stoked he didn’t go into boxing, because with a jaw like 16 year old Mike Tyson, King Cyst could probably take a thousand chin jabs in one round and be ready for the next nine. Instead, I’m grateful he took that mandible to the next level in music. You can develop this same feel by gripping King of New York by King Cyst on Underwater Peoples now! But first, take a whiff of “Chinese Wind” below:
