Guap, Formerly Known As Guapdad 4000, Premieres His ‘H*e’ Video And Announces His Short Film, ‘Stoop Kid’

by

On the heels of his new self-titled EP, Guap, formerly known as Guapdad 4000, has premiered the new video for his song, “H*e.” On the bouncy, bass-heavy, West Coast-inspired track, Guap proclaims, “I don’t need a h*e, I need a whole lot of paper / I don’t need a h*e, I need a whole vacation.”

The song’s accompanying video, shot by Paul Middleton, sees Guap driving around Oakland, spending time by himself on the beach, and making himself a charcuterie board.

In addition to the “H*e” video, Guap also took to Instagram to reveal the trailer for his upcoming short film, Stoop Kid. Set to premiere on Amazon Prime Video on Thursday, July 21, Stoop Kid accompanies Guap’s 2021 album, 1176, and tells the story about his Bay Area upbringing.

“It’s crazy to be posting this,” he wrote. “Quarantine got so heavy for me that I fell into a deep depression just too much death and uncertainty but by the grace of God I have been blessed with many talents and also to have a connection with my big brother @illmindproducer with whom I’ve created 1176 the album & inspiring My short Film/ Musical ‘Stoop Kid’ … a story about my journey in Oakland.”

Guapdad 4000’s new single “Black Iverson” launched in a unique format with COLORSxSTUDIOS, who paired up with NBA 2K for a special partnership that included an exclusive curated COLORS soundtrack update and NBA 2K in-game performance. The single dropped just weeks after touring with Wale. The single is available on all platforms today, the same that the Oakland-bred MC delivers the new official Chris Simmons-directed visual and studio version of the single. Guapdad has switched his name up and will go forward as simply “Guap.”

The track’s fiery trap rhythm and bass-heavy backdrop set the scene for the artist’s casual delivery. It’s taken from his upcoming EP Handsome and produced by K.FISHA.

 “‘Black Iverson’ is a song reflecting on my journey from start till now. Many comparisons can be made between me and Iverson himself,” Guap said of the single. “We both have charisma and an undeniable style, but the bottom line is we are black men in America. There was ‘White Iverson’ a few years back and now we have a ‘Black Iverson.’”

The video is directed by Chris Simmons. “The goal for this video was to portray Guap in an organic light,” Simmons provides. “It was inspiring for us to go back to our roots with the style in which we shot it. You’ll see what I mean with the particular angles I selected and the way in which I approached it.”
