Linear Park may not be the most glamorous part of Vernon, but it鈥檚 still beautiful according to a local artist.

Vernon rapper Alfy鈥橭 (Alfred Owen Busslinger) has released a new music video, filmed in his hometown and focusing on the park which is often frequented by vagrants. Shot with an iPhone, the video for FLY also stars Lincoln Lanes, 7-Eleven and the surrounding neighbourhoods.

鈥淲e basically just wanted to show that even in some of the harder areas in Vernon it is still beautiful here and you shouldn鈥檛 just judge it on what you might first see,鈥� said Busslinger. 鈥淚 also grew up bowling at Lincoln lanes and I love Slurpees!鈥�

So much in fact that he鈥檚 filmed drinking straight from the Slurpee machine.

The video featured Yukon artist Stretch9 (Carter Nehring) and Vernon鈥檚 Memo (Malcolm Otter).

鈥淢alcolm and myself both grew up in Vernon and met Carter through music and ended up becoming best friends,鈥� said Busslinger, who has shed his dreads. 鈥淗e moved down here and lived here for a year a couple years ago but now lives on the island but comes down a few times a year at least to visit as well as family he has in the South Okanagan.鈥�
