South-West London’s Blakes has surprise-released a music video for his recent urban banger FAITH. The track itself is an inspiring, introspective collaboration ft. rising talents, grime rapper Ashley Tragic and dynamic vocalist Serena Dench.
Filmed in and around London, the video precedes Danny Blake stepping into the boxing ring for his title fight against Dylan Loughney at Cardiff’s Vale Arena on 23rd August, hosted by Speed Star Promotions.
The new video follows Blakes’ latest single Provide, which shared an unshakeable promise to his daughter, to show up and level up no matter the obstacles.
Having been caught up in local gang culture from an early age, Blakes’ passion for music helped him leave the streets behind and grow as an artist, model, actor, and sports professional.
“Blake’s evolution from a Fulham kid with a troubled past to a model featuring in magazines such as i-D Magazine, Attitude, and British Vogue to working with big-name brands like Versace, Off-White x Moncler, and Diesel is inspiring. Yet, his pivot to music is a bold move, one that he’s taking more seriously than ever.
With “Faith,” Danny Blake proves he’s not just a good-looking chap or a name from a rough neighbourhood—he’s a storyteller with a message, and that message is clear: have faith, dig deeper, and believe in the power of transformation.” writes Origins of CJM.
Blakes’ return to the stage has also teased a brand-new release to follow. Collaboration track ‘UP’ is a fierce hype song, featuring Blakes, Ashley Tragic and SH4YZ and set to release August 29th via Criminal Records.
