Central Valley, California producer Sir Veterano presents the Yellow Nguyen-directed music video for "Castle", his new collaboration with Fresno, California rapper Fashawn featuring Aloe Blacc. The song appears on their brand new Fresh Yard Records full-length All Hail The King, also featuring guest appearances from eLZhi, Planet Asia and DJ Revolution. The "Castle" visual comes on the heels of clips for AHTK singles "All Hail The King" (watch on Youtube) and "This Town" (watch on Youtube). Last year Sir Veterano released The Gathering (stream on Spotify), which featured singles "Reputable" featuring MC Eiht, Planet Asia and Mitchy Slick (watch the music video), and "Cocaine Rap featuring Murs (watch the music video) as well as appearances from Bishop Lamont, Casual, Ras Kass, Guilty Simpson, Phat Kat, Fashawn, K-Bizz, 4TWO7, M.E.D., Skillz and Supastition. Nas executive-produced The Ecology, Fashawn's recent album released via Mass Appeal. Fashawn also appeared on the 2010 XXL Freshmen cover alongside Wiz Khalifa, J.Cole, and Nipsey Hussle. Growing up outside of San Francisco, Sir Veterano worked with Ras Kass, Kool G Rap, Mad Skillz, Planet Asia and Slaughtahouse through the mid-2000s and early 2010s, releasing the Latest and Greatest Vol.1 mixtape, a doo-wop themed instrumental album in partnership with Dart Adam's Producers I Know brand, and a DJ series of West Coast funk with 2DopeBoyz.com, before putting his career on hold in order to focus on his personal life. In late 2018, Sir Veterano expressed interest in rejoining the music business to his music manager, Walt Liquor - aka 4Two7 - and Kwa Nguyen, owner of Fresh Yard Clothing and Fresh Yard Records. "We wanted to create a song for the women in our lives," Fashawn says about the new single. "Working within the thematic concept of All Hail The King, it was appropriate to show appreciation for the Queens of the Castle."
