Video: Taylor Bennett – Roof Gone

These Bennett lads are really coming into their own right now. When one considers the year 2017, it is plain to see that Chicago rapper Taylor Bennett is making the most of his life right now. He came out as bisexual just before his big 21st birthday celebration in January, released his independent album Restoration of an American Idol in February, began his first headlining tour in April, and became the new face of Urban Outfitters with a collaboration for their UO Pride Collection just in time for Pride Month (all proceeds from the collection will benefit GLSEN and its mission to provide safe and affirming schools for LGBTQ+ students). In addition, he embarked on his first headlining tour in April.

Now, as another extension of the latter partnership—he is scheduled to play at an Urban Outfitters location in Chicago on June 23 to promote the collection—he has linked up with the garment and accessories firm for the premiere of his “Roof Gone” video.

The graphic shows Tay enjoying the night sky with a female companion while seated in his immaculate vintage whip, which, of course, does not have a roof. Austin Vesely, the same man who directed Chance the Rapper’s Slice film and his “Angels” music video, was the individual who sat in the director’s chair for this production. As the first official video release from Bennett’s album, “Roof Gone” will be shown on the Urban Outfitters YouTube channel for one week alongside a total of 27 other music videos.

The connection between Bennett’s team (agent Cara Lewis and manager Joseph Cabey) and Urban Outfitters’ Director of Music Ron Ubaldo, which allowed both the video release and UO Pride initiatives to be secured, can be credited to MAC Presents.
