Nashville, TN - (January 29, 2013) - Leading hip-hop/pop sensation Group 1 Crew's video for their No. 1 single, "His Kind of Love," debuts today on YouTube, iTunes and www.Group1Crew.com. This marks the duo's second career No. 1 single and fifth Top 5 hit. Group 1 Crew is scheduled to hit the road on March 3 when they join Audio Adrenaline on the "King's & Queen's Spring Tour."
The video, shot this past November throughout Group 1 Crew's "Winter Jam" dates captures the duo's impressive live show. "Having never seen a G1C performance prior to my time on 'Winter Jam' I wasn't sure what to expect," said director Sean Hagwell. "What's more is that I was tasked with creating a cohesive and smooth live performance without any filler which requires an artist to be 100% consistent with their energy and stage presence. Night after night I would watch Manwell and Blanca give the crowd literally everything they had and consistently deliver a memorable performance without ever pulling the spotlight away from the message of Christ. With such an amazing live set, getting great footage was easy; deciding what had to hit the cutting room floor was the hardest part."
"Group 1 Crew is known for doing some fun and crazy music videos," adds Group 1 Crew's Blanca. "But I'm especially excited about this video because we get to show a side of us that not everybody gets to see unless they come to one of our concerts. We wanted to capture the energy and passion we bring on a live stage! That is what the 'His Kind of Love' video is all about."
