Here comes a new Travi$ Scott video for single ‘Uptown’ off the Owl Pharoah mixtape. Directed by the man himself and featuring demonic skinheads, I think we can see a signature style being developed – dark, moody, smoky aesthetics sans any familiar rap video excesses.
This time demonic possession, cannibalism and vanity are the themes du jour as the music video builds tension and makes you consider sleeping with the light on tonight. Featuring a cameo from A$AP Ferg towards the end, this one has YouTube comment sections alight with interpretations, complaints and Illuminati theories.
