Hassan | ‘How Hass?’ Video With a Rare Kanye West Cameo
Hassan is definitely someone you need to know. The creative with an insane performance energy is making waves in the rap and production game. In 2019 the artist, who is signed to Damon Dash’s Poppington label, has dropped a few different projects giving us a taste of his vision. One of his latest offerings is a concise 2 minute music video titled, ‘How Hass.’
The self-produced catchy beat for ‘How Hass’ was created in just 15 minutes, and initially started out as a joke. Hassan’s approach for this record was to push himself and do something different, making a, ‘fun,’ beat, which he initially thought would be fitting for female rapper Saweetie. He took the idea and ran with it, rapping, ‘Got a few pretty girls sipping rose, Saweetie is a boss so I obey,’ as the first line of the record.
The video for this song is a montage of different footage including videos of Dame’s dog, Governor, as well as old footage of Dame Dash and content from a meeting with Kanye West and Dame. When talking to Hassan about his relationship with Kanye, the creative explained that he has had a few interactions with Kanye, the first being around 10 years ago. Coming full circle, Hassan was able to play his album in a meeting with Dame and Kanye in February 2019, where Kanye is heard stating, ‘I need to get on this,’ while listening to Hassan’s, ‘SADNXGGA.’
Hassan has been teasing us with different promo and videos for his next album dropping on October 18. When discussing the vibe for his upcoming album, Hassan simply stated it was, ‘irony,’ and noted it is a love album. The artist also plans to perform the entire album in a performance art piece on October 19 at ‘God Forbid Night.’ With his vision being to hold an interactive experience for all attending, we will see Hassan as a performer as well as a producer as he plans to hold a beat auction at the event.
