[WATCH] Gunna Drops New Video for “Banking On Me”

unnamed 18

Gunna is keeping the DS4EVER momentum going, dropping the video for “Banking On Me.” The new video comes from the album that has surpassed 1.5 billion streams and over 955,000 albums sold. The album features Future, Young Thug, Kodak Black, and more.

Earlier this week, Gunna shared a open letter to fans and the public on social media. Currently being held in Fulton County Jail, Gunna spoke about the opportunity that he provided for other professionals and his loved ones.

“The picture that is being painted of me is ugly and untrue. My fans know I love to celebrate life, I love my family, I love travel, I love music, I love my fans. I have all faith that God will grant me justice for the purity in my heart and the innocence of my actions.”

Gunna also spoke to the constraints on his art as a freedom of expression:

“My art is now allowed to stand alone as entertainment, I’m not allowed that freedom as a Black Man in America. It is a sad reality that slavery is still alive in America today and still affecting my people. In 12 states more than half of the prison population is Black, one of those states is Georgia.”

Last week, Kevin Liles, the co-founder of 300 Entertainment, teamed up with Julie Greenwald, COO of Atlantic Records, for a petition to cease the use of rap lyrics in court. Liles also testified on behalf of Young Thug and YSL.

In the music video for “No Choice,” Glock is the only person in a snowy Aspen home as he reflects on his upbringing and the difficult background that drives his hard work. The visual is mixed with photos from “The Yellow Tape Tour,” which demonstrates that although the paper chase frequently seems glamorous, it comes with a toll of its own.

[WATCH] Rylo Rodriguez Releases Video For “Benz Truck”

Rylo Rodriguez Benz Truck Official Video 0 14 screenshot

Rylo Rodriguez may be from the country town of Mobile, Alabama, but his story is felt in ghettos worldwide. It’s no secrete why Lil Baby added him to Four Pockets Full label. Rylo Rodriguez speaks for the streets but from the soul, and it’s evident in the new video “Benz Truck.”

In the video for “Benz Truck,” Rylo only needed white studio space and b roll footage. Over a soft guitar-driven production, he used authentic next-level lyricism to one of his many hood tales. True, he’s rapping on “Benz Truck,” but his sound is so intimate that it comes off as poetry. Southern folk rap poetry.

“Tell him get up off that block, go invest in him some stocks
Under the house, I hid the street sweeper, we ain’t need no mop
Imagine tryna feed people who don’t got an appetite
The ones I love left me, I pray one day, we gon’ make it right”

It’s uncertain if the 4PF artist has a project coming out, but “Benz Truck” is only the second single this year from Rylo Rodriguez. Earlier this year, he released “Set Me Free.”

Watch his new video for “Benz Truck” below.
