Video Drop - @1youngblu "By Myself"

Young Blu has quietly been one of the Midwest's most consistent artists. His following has continued to grow right along with his discography. His latest project Melly World 2 is officially on sale now and his lead single, "By Myself" gets the visual treatment from Eye Like Cinema. Sometimes it's better when you do it all on your own.
