Music video

[edit]

The music video was released on March 26, 2020.[3] The video was shot at a car warehouse. In the video, BlocBoy and his friends are seen doing a dance called "The Clutch". [2] He described the video as "last minute" with "limited resources".

I was on Trippie Redd’s Love Me More Tour while we shot this video. It was a day off in Des Moines, Iowa. I had videographer Zach Hurth and gang with me, so we decided to pull off something last minute. We couldn’t rent any exotic cars last minute so we just found this random car lot warehouse, dressed up and made this happened. Random shit.

— BlocBoy JB

The music video has currently over one million views on YouTube.
