“Play Nice” is the latest offering from Chicago spoken word standout Harold Green, III, whom we first featured in 2011. Once again teaming with director Sanicole (who shot Green’s masterful Honey Moon, a collabo with soul standout B.J. The Chicago Kid), “Play Nice” is a gritty reminder of the dark realities many face. Unafraid, Green claps back at life’s grim circumstances: “I hope these words bust yo’ skull like a lead pipe.” Peep the video below.

“I know I’m putting out substantial art. If people catch on they catch on.” —Harold Green
