Dear Hip Hop
We were brought on to edit and create text animation for this dynamic spot, created for Hennessy's Fifty Years of Hip Hop campaign, featuring the legendary rapper Nas. The piece is framed around a letter written by Nas to hip hop, and showcases the genre's rich history in New York City.
