WELL$ Captures The Feeling Of Being Alone In A Crowded Room In His “XXX” Video
The North Carolina rapper goes through it while the turn up commences in his latest visual from The Way I’m Living Makes My Mom Nervous.
In WELL$'s new video for "XXX," which premieres on The FADER today, the North Carolina rapper gives the camera a dead-pan stare as bodies bounce up-and-down to the hard-hitting beat behind him. The track, taken from his recent The Way I'm Living Makes My Mom Nervous album, is about self-doubt and the "Are you here right now?" refrain serves as a reflexive question.
"When I heard the beat, I could already feel the party atmosphere that it conveyed. There is a great vibe on this track but, ironically, "XXX," is intended to paint the image of my psyche and inner turmoil," WELL$ explained to The FADER over email. "I felt down on my luck at the time and my dreams were beyond my reach. It felt liberating to have such a vision but, at the same time, the burden of uncertainty was overwhelming."
