Terry Jones, in collaboration with Miami-based rapper/artist Dashius Clay, is set to unveil a new EP that promises to push boundaries and challenge societal norms. To kick off the release, Terry is sharing the music video for “Silent Like Chaplin,” a previously released single from his album “Friday The 14th” that garnered him an album deal with Boost Collective.
Directed by John Zeller, the music video for “Silent Like Chaplin” delves into the theme of how outspokenness among Black individuals in America is often met with negativity and attempts to silence them. Terry explains that Black public figures are praised when they conform to societal standards but face backlash when they express their opinions freely. Drawing inspiration from Charlie Chaplin, who faced scrutiny for his political role in “The Great Dictator,” Terry aims to highlight the challenges he has faced in the entertainment industry for speaking his truth.
Through the music video, Terry Jones seeks to convey a powerful message about the importance of staying true to oneself and refusing to be silenced in the face of intimidation. As he transitions from comedy into music, Terry is determined to be taken seriously and make his voice heard.
The collaboration between Terry Jones and Dashius Clay promises to bring a fresh perspective to the music scene, blending their unique styles and experiences to create an EP that resonates with authenticity and resilience. Stay tuned for more updates on this exciting project.
