Charlotte, North Carolina rapper Well$ blasts through with a new video for “XXX,” which finds him mobbing with his crew in a dark room coupled with an intermittent flash of white illuminating the rapper’s silhouette. Produced by fellow Immaculate Taste producer Sipho The Gift, “XXX” is a highlight from the 21-year-old artist’s recent mixtapeThe Way I’m Living Makes My Mom Nervous.
“Sipho really knows what sounds good with my style,” Well$ said in a press release. “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. 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.”
The follow-up to 2014’s MTSYD: Revenge of the African Booty Scratcher, The Way I’m Living Makes My Mom Nervous features appearances from North Carolina artists such as Sylvan Esso, Deniro Ferrar, Angelo Mota, JK The Ripper, Doms, Alec Lomami, and Sipho the Gift, along with varied production from Metro Boomin, Angelo Mota, Sipho the Gift, and Jimmy Kelso.
