Well what is this music video about? Why did Mike Larry Draw create this piece of work? Who are the Actors in the video? Where was the Video shot?
Lets start with the last question first. This video was shot in a Housing called Sonia Sotomayor which original name was Bronxdale. Bronxdale Houses has 28, seven-story buildings with 1,496 apartments housing an estimated 3,497 residents on 30.77-acres in the Bronx. Bruckner Boulevard and Watson, Soundview and Leland Avenues border the development completed January 31, 1955.
Mike Larry Draw is from Bronxdale Projects. Which is one of the great reasons why the video takes place there. Andre Harrell, who made the careers of Diddy and Mary J. Blige at his Uptown Records label, also grew up in the Sotomayor homes.
All of the actors in the music video were raised in the South Bronx projects now known as Sonia Sotomayor Projects. Mike Larry Draw chose his childhood friends to show love to his community and utilize his video opportunities to open up more opportunities to his Bronxdale family.

Mike Larry Draw created this body of work to tell the story of a person who is literally at his wits end and have no other way to survive except to turn to the life of crime. The story is more similar to Robbin Hood.
Sheila Kohler wrote a artical posted Aug 30, 2014 speaking on why people steal.
"As adults we sometimes casually take a box of Kleenex from a hotel room, and some might even purloin a towel or a bathrobe, thinking most probably: I’m paying enough for this hotel room. They could give me a few extra Kleenex for the price.
And, of course, people faced by huge hardships are sometimes forced to steal when hungry to save their lives, or when their children are in dire need in wartime or other times and places of dire poverty.
A wonderful example of this is young Pip in “Great Expectations” who steals some bread and a file for the convict who terrifies him with the imaginary man who will tear our his heart and liver if he does not comply.
Socrates says that no one knowingly commits an evil action, evil is turned into good in the mind. The thief, like the pedophile, who convinces himself the child really wants to make love to him, convinces himself that he has a right to the object he desires. He needs it more than the other does. It is rightfully his.
It is easier to steal from an anonymous, large organization, than from an individual, easier to steal from someone who seems well-endowed, has so much more. He wont even notice, he has so much money anyway, the dishonest shopkeeper probably thinks stealing from people he considers have much more than he has or are too stupid to notice.
There are so many reasons why people steal. Not saying its right but Mike Larry Draw created this piece to show a side of a story told thousands of time but shown in this perspective.
“Community Policing” as this term suggests that the police should be ever-present in black communities — patrolling, tutoring, playing basketball, etc. — sustaining the notion that police presence is what makes people safe. We noted that this idea of “Community Policing” is rarely, if ever, applied to white or wealthy communities — that if these communities had an ever-present police presence, it would be unacceptable.
These type of dealings happen all over america. Time magazine wrotes an article about living in the Projects
Since its initiation in 1935, the New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA) has built hundreds of apartment blocks for hundreds of thousands of medium and low-income New Yorkers.
