Los Angeles hip hop artist Demrick is thrilled to release the music video for “Light A Match,” the lead off track to his upcoming full length album Came A Long Way. Just like the album, the “Light A Match” music video is an homage to Demrick’s come up, featuring throwback footage of Demrick through the years, and a bright look into the open future for the burgeoning artist. It’s a beautifully shot video whose warm, cinematic feel lets fans experience Los Angeles through Demrick’s eyes.
Chatting about the video, Demrick wanted, “everyone to hear about what I been up to over the past few years since ‘Collect Call.’ It’s a really reflective record and I wanted the video to give off that vibe. I included a bunch of BTS footage that doesn’t get shared on social media so people can see more of my story. I also wanted it to capture the beauty of downtown LA and be bright and colorful because I’m in a really good place right now in my life. I feel focused and ready to take it up to a whole new level.”
“Light A Match” is the second release from Demrick’s upcoming album Came A Long Way, which is set to release Friday, July 13th. On June 6th, Demrick shared the lead single “Fuck I Look Like” with support from HotNewHipHop, HipHopDX, 2DopeBoyz, and more. Watch “Fuck I Look Like” Here: https://youtu.be/RPrpl01Yu7E.

Demrick also recently announced that he will be embarking on a mini-tour starting July 21st in support of Came A Long Way. He’ll be hitting Spokane, Seattle, Philadelphia, and Los Angeles from July 21st to August 18th, all tour and ticket information can be found below. Demrick specifically chose these four cities as a hometown tour of sorts because of his deep personal ties to each city.
Demrick is a recording artist and songwriter from Philadelphia, PA and is currently residing in Los Angeles. He’s best known for his collaborations with artists such as Xzibit, Kurupt, Snoop Dogg, Too $hort, B-Real, Dizzy Wright, Logic, Paul Wall, Jarren Benton, Berner, and more. In June 2016, Demrick made waves with his solo project Collect Call, which featured production from Scoop DeVille and Cali Cleve and guest verses from Lil Debbie and Casey Veggies.
Riding the high from Collect Call, Demrick teamed up with Vegas artist Dizzy Wright for their collaborative album Blaze With Us. The full length album was released in November 2016 and immediately took off on Spotify, collectively garnering over 11M streams. The album received praise from HotNewHipHop, HipHopDX, All Hip Hop, and more, and sparked a massive following of hip hop heads nationwide.
Since Blaze With Us, Demrick has released more collaborative work with Dizzy Wright, toured across North America, had music featured in HBO’s Insecure, Captain America: Civil War, Ride Along 2, Let’s Be Cops, Zero Dark Thirty, House of Lies, and more, and worked relentlessly in the studio on his upcoming solo album. Came A Long Way is by far Demrick’s best offering to date and he’s excited to share his earnest, but poignant, new sound with fans everywhere. Demrick will release his newest full-length album Came A Long Way on July 13th and hit the road July 21st.
