Banky W releases new video 

We teased you with behind-the-scenes photos from the video shoot a while ago, now the work is done and the video has dropped.

The song titled “Blessing Me” is, according to Banky W, “just to thank God for always blessing him in all endeavors especially saving him from the fire that razed his place a few weeks back.”

He said, “In the video, you see me rising from nothing to something… starting out as a worker in a mechanic/hardware shop; while praising and thanking God, our clothes get nicer, our surroundings get better, my car gets upgraded, etc. And then at the end, you see that my entire story and my rise from nothing to something, is actually in someone else’s mind as he reads about me in the magazine.”

The video was directed by Clarence Peters. Watch here:
