Hip-Hop Ensemble NAME Releases Debut Music Video “Can’t Say Love Enough”
Acclaimed creative professionals Mazzie “Grand Agent” Casher, Larry “Mr. Cisum” Fowler, and Ozzie “Old Man” Jones, who formed the Hip-Hop ensemble NAME in 1994, are excited to announce the release of their first-ever music video, “Can’t Say Love Enough,” on July 5, 2024. This long-anticipated debut aims to unify the City of Brotherly Love in time for America’s 250th birthday and the World Cup in 2026.
Casher, Executive Director of PHILLY TRUCE, has been instrumental in reducing violence in Philadelphia through community engagement and education. Before co-founding PHILLY TRUCE in 2020, Casher established himself as Grand Agent, a rapper praised for his lyrical skills. Larry Fowler, a Barrymore Award-winning sound designer and music producer, has been a prominent figure in the Philadelphia theater scene for over two decades, collaborating with renowned theaters and serving as a board member for Azuka Theater. Ozzie Jones, also a Barrymore Award winner, is a celebrated director and playwright known for his significant contributions to the Philadelphia arts community.
The trio’s dedication to social change complements their artistic endeavors, bringing a unique perspective to this project. “Can’t Say Love Enough” infuses the iconic “Lift Every Voice and Sing” with the soulful vibes of Philly International session players and powerful beats, creating an infectious anthem. The music video captures the essence of Philadelphia’s often overlooked unity and positivity. Generating buzz already, the song is under consideration to become an official anthem of Philadelphia, as the city prepares for significant events in 2026.
