Injury Reserve release fresh visuals for Rico Nasty & Pro Teens-assisted “Jawbreaker”

Injury Reserve enlist Rico Nasty and Pro Teens for Jawbreaker

Ritchie With a T, Stepa J. Groggs, Parker Corey of the Phoenix-based trio Injury Reserve recently released new visuals for their Rico Nasty and Pro Teens-assisted single, “Jawbreaker.”

Some people are still unfamiliar with Injury Reserve, but the Phoenix New Times called them the “face of Arizona hip-hop,” and adding that “time will tell whether or not their mix of Corey’s eclectic, experimental beats and Ritchie and Stepa’s aggressive raps will come to define the Valley’s sound, but the group itself isn’t waiting around to find out.”

Since launching their YouTube channel in 2013, the group has racked up more than 3.2 million video views with close to 25K subscribers.

“There are 4.3 million people within the metropolitan area and other than a Ludacris protégé perplexingly named Willy Northpole, no one had even come close to breaking out—until Injury Reserve came through and crushed the gila monsters.”LA Weekly

Here’s how the new video for “Jawbreaker,” directed by Injury Reserve’s own Parkey Corey, is described:

“With the biggest week in fashion around the corner ‘Jawbreaker’ is [Injury Reserve’s] take on the state of things with the video almost acting as a Mystery Science Theater-esque commentary while remaining true to the elegance of a high end fashion show.”

After signing with indie label Loma Vista Recordings back in September, Injury Reserve has a ton in store for the remainder of 2019. The group is currently putting the finishing touches on new album Injury Reserve in Los Angeles. Their last record was 2017’s Drive It Like It’s Stolen, which is also on Spotify.
