After a long hiatus from previous chart-topping project Misfits Of Science, Ruckus Garvey is back to capture the springtime vibe in the NZ on Air funded video for Chip On My Shoulder, debuting 7pm tonight through facebook.com/ruckusgarveyofficial.

Directed by Sani Sagala who’s previous work includes videos for NZ Hip-Hop luminaries Smashproof and R&B star Pieter T,Chip On My Shoulder encapsulates the anthemic intention behind the track – to celebrate what we’re good at, to do it up in style, and to kick that all too common tall poppy syndrome to the curb. Shot on location at some of Auckland’s finest skate parks and central city haunts, the video and track inject some much needed carefree 90’s swagger into Spring 2016. 

Since dropping at the start of September, the single for Chip On My Shoulderhas been added to both Mai FM and Flava rotates, receiving the publicly voted honour of Flava’s ‘People’s Champ’ 2 nights in a row.  Digital plays are also climbing with over 10,000 streams across the major digital outlets over a 7-day period. It’s fair to say that Ruckus Garvey is back in the game.
