Innerstate Ike has been putting in work in the local scene for sometime now and was most recognized for his work with rapper Colfax Cac. Back in 2005, Ike and Cac suffered multiple gunshot wounds in a driveby and while Ike survived suffering paralysis from the waist down, his best friend Cac passed a few days later. Not one to dwell in heartache and wallow in his situation, Ike continued to push through making new music for his fellow Montbello hip-hop heads. To get fans ready for his upcoming album, Ike Obama, the rapper filmed a video for "It Seems/Hypnotic & Patron," two tracks from the project.Check the video, directed and produced by Optimum Films, after the jump.
