KeilyN – “Flight 89″ | Music Video

Michell C. Clark October 8, 2012 Hip Hop, Music Comments

Ohio emcee KeilyN reminisces about his life for four minutes through a song centered around the Nike Flight 89′s, his favorite sneaker of all time.

Proclaiming that no one else could walk in his shoes, and pledging to never sell his soul (sole) for a limited price, the extended metaphor is continued skillfully throughout the song as the young storyteller warns that anyone else “would probably trip and fall if they walked in his Nikes,” while the video, directed by Walter Nini, provides memorable visuals to bring life to KeilyN’s words.
