# Video: Jarred Benton – ‘Life in the Jungle’

**Funk Volume** rapper **Jarren Benton** is known for both eye-catching visuals and lyrical content that run the gamut from comical to shocking, and the new video for **“Life In The Jungle,”** the latest single off his impressive debut album ***My Grandmas Basement***, continues to prove why he has become one of hip-hop’s hottest rising stars. **HotNewHipHop** produced and premiered the visual, which was directed by **Armen Soudjian**, who drew inspiration from a variety of sources, but none more than Jarren himself. “The second I heard the song, it was Jarren’s speed/lyricism along with the beat that made me visualize a dark, yet fun video.” Also referencing the iconic work of Hype Williams on videos such as Busta Rhymes’ “Dangerous,” Soudjian filmed Jarren and his fellow video players acting against a slowed-down track, so that their movements would appear sped up, unnatural and disorienting in the finished cut.
