In May, the talented rapper, HeadHuncho Amir from East Dallas, inspired the local community with his track urging them to make money and his latest music video “New Dallus” further solidifies his love for his city. The track serves as an anthemic ode to the vibrant energy of a city that is defining itself on its own terms, emphasizing a collective rise of the local music scene. Amir’s lyrics capture the essence of ambition and growth within the community, showcasing a desire to flourish together. With lines like, “New Dallas in the function, they know it’s a movie / And we finna show the world / N***a feel like Boosie / You would think we’re sellin’ chickens, spot roll like Rudy’s,” HeadHuncho sets the tone for a narrative that represents unity and determination.
The music video for “New Dallus” features appearances from some of Dallas’ prominent athletes, including SMU quarterback Kevin Jenings, wide receiver Jordan Hudson, and Lincoln High School basketball star Ar’Jayla Elder, known as the “Silent Assassin.” These athletes are showcased practicing and training at SMU’s indoor field and Pike Park in Victory Park, adding a touch of reality to the visual representation of the city’s spirit.

As the exploration of Dallas continues, the video features scenes of HeadHuncho Amir and his friends enjoying Rudy’s Chicken at a table in his Fraizer Street neighborhood, with Zillionaire Doe and Ziggy Made It sitting alongside him. Rudy’s Chicken, a renowned fried chicken spot in DFW, becomes a backdrop for camaraderie and community celebration. Embracing the nightlife, the video transitions to DG’s Gentlemen’s Club in North Dallas as night falls, showcasing a different side of the city’s vibrant nightlife scene.
