Hakeem Prime Drops Dual Music Video Release for “Need It” and “Fah! Fah!”
BOISE, IDAHO — Recording artist Hakeem Prime has officially released new visuals for two fan-favorite records from the Boise Mutation era: "Need It" and "Fah! Fah! | Tough." The dual release showcases two different sides of the Boise-based artist, blending smooth R&B-inspired storytelling with the energetic confidence that has become a staple of his recent catalog.
The release of "Need It" and "Fah! Fah! | Tough" marks another milestone for the Boise Mutation mixtape, which became Hakeem Prime's most successful independent project to date, generating millions of streams across platforms and helping establish Boise as an emerging market in independent hip-hop.
