Northern California emcee J.Lately delivers the new music video for his track PAPAYAS & BLUNT SMOKE, produced by frequent collaborator Space Cadet, from his recently released album, BE FUCKING HAPPY

Bay Area, California emcee J.Lately presents the Erica Eng-directed music video for ‘Papayas & Blunt Smoke’, the Space Cadet-produced single from J.’s album ‘Be Fucking Happy’, featuring guest appearances from Demrick, Khyenci Tienne, Rexx Life Raj, Beejus and KBong as well as production from Mikos Da Gawd, Chase Moore and Kris Rewlz. This retro video takes viewers back to a 1970’s Southern California backdrop, where they find Lately and a female companion engaging in all types of shenanigans to compliment the fun and lively theme of the song.

“The minute that Space Cadet played me this beat I knew I wanted to make this song,” Lately says about the single.“I often get caught up in all the troubles of the world or searching for all the answers to life, but with this one, I just wanted to make a fun song that appreciated the small joys of life. I wanted to live in the moment”.

Hailing from Sebastopol, and having split time between Oakland and Southern California, Lately has toured with Zion I, Locksmith, and A-Plus of the Hieroglyphics, and his previous releases include ‘Save Yourself’ featuring Blu and visuals for ‘I’ll Be Living‘ and ‘Breathe‘.
