Posted by Atlanta duo EarthGang have given their Ghetto Gods track “American Horror Story” a creepy visual treatment, debuting an unsettling music video for the single on Wednesday (March 23) that elaborates on the themes of Black trauma touched on by WowGr8 and Olu in their lyrics.
The video is also dubbed “The Ghetto Gods Show,” and as the duo’s lyrics explore the dark and seedy history of Black America, the music video serves as a stage to help bring EarthGang’s lyrics to life with powerful results.
“I mean for real all this money we got and we still can’t help Flint/Don’t get me wrong I still pull up to Lennox to floss on a bitch yeah/But I hate seeing my n-ggas get shot up that shit don’t make sense,” Olu raps as cops wander around behind him and disrupt daily life.
