Growing up in New York in the 90s and 2000s, it was hard to escape the influence of DMX. In his recent collaboration with Can-Am, who manufacturers of the ubiquitous all-terrain vehicles that permeate urban roadways and desert landscapes, Brooklyn-bred artist, SAINt JHN is embracing his inner Ruff Ryder.
The Warner Records signee is standing alongside Joan Jett as a brand ambassadors for the Can-Am Spyder, and he’s not shy about showing off the product, as just about any visitor of Los Angeles’ famous Sunset Strip could probably confirm. As for the inspiration behind the partnership, SAINt JHN believes that subconsciously, the spirit of the Ruff Ryder laced early DMX videos undoubtedly played a role in his decision.
Best Music Video went to his collaboration with Beyoncé, Wizkid and Blue Ivy Carter on
Brown Skin Girl from
The Lion King: The Gift. He also shares the writer’s credit on the track.
However, while you can hear JHN’s voice harmonizing with Blue Ivy at the beginning of the track, he did not appear in the music video. For that reason, it appears he was not officially named an awardee in the category which is typically given to the performers, directors, and producers associated with the winning video.
JHN shared the news of his victory on Twitter with his 80,000 followers and also took the time to admonish those who didn’t see his vision a year ago.
