Released in March 2020, the Archie Council-directed visual brings the neo-folk rap hymn to life, capturing the element of the Fayetteville hood, putting its similarities to Every Ghetto, U.S.A. on fully display for millions to digest.

The record also nabbed a gold certification amid the release of his debut project Street Sermons.
