Grayskul, the Seattle duo made up of rappers Onry Ozzborn and JFK, release their video for “Face and the Fang” today. The video, shot by Eric Miller, provides nightmarish imagery to match the dark lyrics of the track and is the first released from their upcoming album Zenith. The visual features each rapper in settings that fit their individual styles: Onry being the more mysterious half and JFK having a more aggressive rap approach.
