Montreal Rap Group "The Posterz" Pump Bass

Don't judge a book by its cover, but a Posterz is fair game.

The on-camera swag coming from each member of The Posterz in the visuals that accompany "The Bass Song" is very strong, considering this is the only music video they've ever released. The trio from Montreal rap quickly over bouncy synths and whines that are punctuated by quivering horns, but more important is the fact that they look cool while doing so. The group is made up of Husser (great name), Sir Share-It (even better) and Chris G (not so much), but since they don't wear nametags in the video there's no way for us to know for certain which is which. That's why I've decided to guess the identity of each character, based on the actions they make in the video above.

The first guy has that racially ambiguous Pharrell look to him, so right away we can rule out the chance that he's Chris G because that's such a swaggerless name. While this might be Sir Share-It, the fact that he was first in the rapping order makes me believe that this is the group's front man, and a front man wouldn't give himself a name like Sir Share-It because the eventual headline of "Sir Share-It Goes Solo" would be both comical and slightly ironic. The first rapper is Husser.

After Husser, the second rapper to come out is wearing a lot of hats. Literally within ten seconds of his verse starting he's worn a snapback, a fedora and then another snapback over top of his hood. His verse is dense and he might even own the stand-out moment of the song, but someone that invests so much of their look into hats can't possibly be the creative tour-de-force of the group. This can't be Sir Share-It., which means that this is Chris G, by default.

Finally, at the three minute mark, we meet the person that has to be Sir Share-It. Not only does he have an afro large enough to hide multiple bongs in and he started his verse in the certified rap squat position, but his flow is exactly what you would expect from someone named Sir Share-It. It's an intense salvo of words delivered in the thinest of whispers for thirty seconds before disappearing back into the smoke. And the fact that he delivers his part of the song without anyone else in frame makes me think that he slept through the first video shoot, causing them to just say "fuck it, we'll just shoot him in the studio spinning on a chair or something." Classic Sir Share-It move.
