Frankie Payne is gearing up to release his Clarity LP sometime in the near future, but the Toronto MC is repping new tunes now by dropping a cinematically assisted video clip for his "Children of the Ghetto."

The hip-hop artist uses snippets of shootouts and hangouts from old-school flicks like Boyz N the Hood, Lean on Me, Menace II Society and more to help convey his words on heat-packing hoods and trying to survive in the streets. You can sample the funked-up song, produced by Big Sproxx, in the player down below, and download it for free over here.

A due date has yet been decided on for Clarity, but it will apparently feature guest spots from Kolor Brown, Trish and Theo 3, as well as production work from Rich Kidd, Tone Mason, Snaz and more.
