rogressive rock group Little King returns with the official music video for “Who’s Illegal?”, a bold and musically daring single from their latest album ‘Lente Viviente,’ released this past September. Shot across Tucson, Arizona, the video echoes frontman Ryan Rosoff’s lyrical reflections on cultural intersections and the timeless question of who gets to belong. The track’s unusual blend of 6/8 and 9/8 time signatures, melodic bass, and suspended chords mirror the complexity of borders and belonging, while the visuals ground it all in real places and faces.
Rosoff explains the inspiration came from his time in Tucson: “After all this time and all the arbitrary assignment of this land to governments and warlords…Who’s Illegal?” That question pulses throughout the song and the album, which pulls no punches as it explores memory, addiction, identity, and resilience. New band members Dave Hamilton and Tony Bojorquez help fuel a sound Rosoff describes as “Musical DMT”—tracks that offer emotional intensity, shifting dynamics, and literary ambition. From the anthemic “Catch and Release” to the introspective “Pass Through Filters,” every song invites listeners on a micro-epic journey of thought and feeling.
