ROCK JACOBS, aka, The Kid, is the talented director behind the new Tiffany Evans music video for her second single, I’m Grown, featuring Bow Wow, off her debut album. The video was filmed on the gritty streets of the Bronx, New York and plays on the theme of adolescent mischief and teen house parties. The video is reminiscent of a hip house party from back in the day that only the cool kids attended. The energy is high, the beat is hot and the party pulls you in. The video does an excellent job of showcasing Tiffany’s dynamic dance moves as is highlighted through a dance battle that pits the boys against the girls. The song speaks to every young females outcry, “I’m Grown” and the video does a good job of keeping the subject matter playful and cutting edge. Interesting camera angles, and slow-mo shots that mimic a cinematic feel, turns a simple concept into a modern day video perfect for Ciara’s protégé, Tiffany, as she looks to establish herself as the next dynamic female artist on the scene.
