YouTube: bbno$ - it boy (official music video)

Watching the bbno$ video released today, "it boy", I realized (later than I'd like to admit) that it's shot in Cowichan, Vancouver Island. A lot of locations are recognizable in and around Duncan.

When I saw bbno$ dancing on the boat, I finally clued in - that boat is beached at Cherry Point just down the road from my house! I took photos of the same beached boat.

"The Brazen Fork" is also shown in the video, a BBQ truck on Cowichan Bay Road (great food). The falcon landing was surely shot at The Raptors near Duncan.

There are a lot of recognizable locations from the Cowichan area. And a great song! bbno$ - it boy (official music video)

I'm looking into the special thanks at the end now, some are definitely more about equipment than locations but it did help.

DP Singh - Cowichan Valley - I believe this is the guy who runs all the Cancos in the area, so maybe the laundromat? Just rewatching again and the white building with a nail salon sign is the backside of the Canco laundromat at Berkey's Corner.

Malibu Motors - Victoria - I should've noticed this the first time, this is the car dealership with their logo all over the parked cars and their giant sign with the lyrics "THE GEN Z EMINEM"

Tire Exchange - Cobble Hill - this place had all the racks of tires

Little Gem Grocery - Victoria - this is the grocery store interior

Brightside Cinema - Vancouver - camera equipment rental

Pacific Northwest Raptors - North Cowichan - this was where they had the bird

The Brazen Fork - Cowichan Bay - as you already mentioned

Michael Heidro - lighting specialist

Prior Castle Inn - Victoria - at least some of the interior shots in the video, everything with the green marble and mirrored ceiling for sure

Days Inn on the Harbour - Victoria - The liquor store you were wondering about is definitely the one built into the back of this hotel

Trinkets & Treasures - this is the store right next to the Brazen Fork, they sit in front of it as well as the white wall with the "ice cream" sign

Darryl Wilson - I think this guy runs or owns the Days Inn

Mike Earle - Someone else to do with Days Inn

I'm also fairly confident the beach is McNeill Bay in Oak Bay, it really looks like the Trial Islands in the background.

Still no idea about the green building or the pink building.

Great detective work! :) I looked briefly at the list of names but somehow ignored most of them. I was looking all over for the liquor store, and of course it's Days Inn on the Harbour.
