Early Xmas present for hip-hop star

South African hip-hop sensation HHP gets to unwrap an early Christmas present when he takes delivery of his new music video for ‘Music N Lights' this Friday, 14 December 2007. Playing ‘Santa' are MTV base and Shell whose MTV Making the Video with Shell initiative enabled HHP to have a music video shot free of charge by legendary music video director Nick Quested, with a cameo appearance by US R&B star Amerie. HHP will see the final cut of ‘Music N Lights' just one day before the video gets its global TV premiere on MTV base (DStv Channel 322). The music video is also being added to MTV base's ‘A list' rotation from 14 December, where it will receive up to 30 plays a week.
