Soulful Florida Rapper Rod Wave Tries To Escape Street Life in “Weight On My Shoulders”
Just nineteen-years-old but with the soul and voice of Delta bluesman, Florida’s Rod Wave makes inspirational and heartfelt street music. Coming through with a vivid morality play, Rod shares “Weight On My Shoulders,” his latest video. A bouncy single with a soaring chorus, “Weight On My Shoulders” depicts Rod’s struggle to emerge from the streets unscathed as a choice between two women–one woman, alluring and abusive, represents the lucrative life of crime, while the other woman, well-dressed and affectionate, represents the promise of life beyond Rod’s neighborhood. At the end of the video, Rod returns to the trap house just as a SWAT team busts down the doors, eliminating his future and saddling him with the weight of his past transgressions. “Weight On My Shoulders” is the latest video from Rod’s Hunger Games 3, which released in December, following the exuberant clip for “Yessir!” and the Moneybagg Yo-featuring “Feel The Same Way,” which has over 1 million views on YouTube.

LA’s Yacht Punk Release Vid For “Indian Summer” Shot On 8MM Film
“The video was shot entirely on a vintage Super 8 camera during the summer of 2018. Each roll of film only has 3.5 minutes of footage, so you have to be really precise with the shots, which I wasn’t. I wanted to capture an organic feeling of the end of summer and the nostalgia that goes along with it. I let a lot of my friends try it out and shoot whatever they wanted, so it kinda turned into a group project. We shot in Sequoia National Forrest, Venice Beach, and at a mansion a friend was house-sitting in Bel Air. Absolutely no magic mushrooms were involved in the making of this film.”
