The video, directed by Nadia Lee Cohen, features some serious prosthetic work. In it, Rocky is part of a crew of bank robbers dressed in Dick Tracy-style zoot suits, getting into all sorts of trouble with the police. It’s hard to say whether this is a deliberate reference to Rocky’s recent run-in with the law or just a coincidence – he was found guilty of assault in Sweden earlier this month (although he was not required to serve any additional prison time, having spent a month in jail prior to the conviction), but production on the video could easily have started prior to the incident. As the track’s title implies, Rocky wears his now-trademark babushka in the video, too. A$AP Ferg, ScHoolboy Q, A$AP Nast, and Kamil Abbas all appear in the visual. In the song’s lyrics, Rocky also says that he’s gone vegan. Save the animals, save the planet! Watch the video below.
