OREO JONES "Needy" Video Release



THE FIRST SINGLE FROM THE DEBUT ALBUM, BETTY 
DROPPING SEPT. 4 VIA RAD SUMMER RECORDS
Watch the video for the first single, "Needy" featuring Freddie Bunz presented by PBR (Indy).  A no bullshit video with an ardent message that showcases Jones' desire to exchange the sweet and sour trappings of Indianapolis for some sold out shows and artistic fulfillment.  Focusing on Oreo's earnest poetics and undeviating delivery, one could imagine the video was shot for an episode of The Dave Chappelle Show.   Both the single and video set an introductory tone for an album that will absorb the listener so fast it's shocking.

Still stuck on the fence about Oreo Jones? Don't take our word for it, Tweet the video link and discover for yourself.  People will not just want to hear Oreo, they will NEED to. 


PRAISE FOR OREO JONES:
(It ain't just empty words!)

NUVO:
I'm convinced that Betty is the strongest locally produced hip-hop LP I've ever heard. The album finds Jones stepping forward as a remarkably mature writer, weaving thoughtful narratives, full of nuance and poetic turns of speech, all delivered with his booming, charismatic flow.
Kick Kick Snare:
"I first heard “The John Wayne”...I pressed replay on that youtube video exactly 1.2 million times. Thank god for the interwebs, as I had the pleasure to meet up with Oreo and DMA in Austin and besides being a sick rapper/producer combo they’re also great people in real life"   

Hipster Wave:
"Gosh they're dope!"
