Alabama rapper Gene the Southern Child is releasing his new album with producer Parallel Thought, Southern Meridian, today on Adult Swim, and he's also sharing, via Noisey, the video for the single "Smackman," which takes viewers into the seedy criminal underbelly of Muscle Shoals, Alabama. Here, the streets are in the grip of an aging lothario/criminal mastermind who's not afraid to level a few threats or throw a few dollar bills around. Gene the Southern Child does not have much patience for such pretenders, and, when he's not cutting them down with rapid-fire lyricism shot through with a gravelly Southern drawl, he's buying a ton of guns to deal with them in other ways, at least as far as this video is concerned. Check it out above and pick up the whole project over at Adult Swim's website.
