DJ Paul and rapper Kokoe take fans to the weed shop and more in their latest visual for “Re-Up”.  The gritty music video follows both artists around Los Angeles as they hit the studio to lay down tracks, get in practice at the gun range but more importantly pay a visit to the medical shop to grab a couple O’s.  Paul and Kokoe spit rhymes on “Re-Up” about selling drugs, smoking the finest and making sure their inventory stays in stock.  In other words, if you’re looking for a music video with some type of substance this is not the option for you.
