DOPE Premier “Hold On” Music Video

Dope has released a music video for “Hold On”, the first official single from their upcoming sixth studio album, Blood Money Part 1. The album officially hits streets on October 28th via Entertainment One Music (eOne Music), but fans can pre-order the record, along with a plethora of bundle packages, meet and greets, and exclusive new merch designs at this location.

Edsel Dope co-directed “Hold On” alongside his old friend and acclaimed video director Dale Rage Resteghini.

“I think that it’s fair to say that Dope is one of the more evolved bands from our genre and time period,” says Edsel. “Our new single, “Hold On”, is a great example of this. It sounds like Dope, but it is clearly, very modern, and in no way reflects a band who is stuck in its past. The hooks are melodic and memorable, while the musicianship is on full display. I’m very proud of Dope’s ability to walk that evolutionary line.”

“It’s been a long time coming, and I’m very happy with how the new album came out,” says Edsel Dope. “I’m super excited for fans to hear the entire record and for us to get out there on tour and feed off of each other’s energy.”
