Masta Ace - Young Black Intelligent

Masta Ace returns with a music video for “Young Black Intelligent.” Directed by Parris, the song and video follow the paths of two teenagers. It is apart of the "Falling Season" album.

A concept piece, the album is based on Masta Ace’s years at Sheepshead Bay High School in Brooklyn in the early 80’s. “Young Black Intelligent” according to Masta Ace is “in a nutshell about my life at the age of 14 growing up in Brownsville, Brooklyn, in the projects.” At that age the choices he and some of his childhood friends made ended up defining their entire lives. As he relates about some of those friends “right now guys are just getting home from 20, 25, 30 year bids because when I went away to college a bunch of them went away to jail.”
