The accompanying music video, is a visual treat, shot by the renowned Nigerian director Meji Alabi. The nearly 4-and-a-half minute clip sees both Runtown and Alkaline head to Jamaica, where they enjoy time with friends, take in the vibrant energy on the streets and enjoy smoke sessions in the studio, all without any negative vibes to kill their upbeat moods.
Runtown, who dropped "No Permission" a memorable collaboration with Nasty C at the end of last year, is readying the release of his forthcoming EP "Tradition" which is due out at the end of the month.
The artist recently wrote an open-letter, published in The Guardian Nigeria, addressing the Nigerian government, and urging them to prioritize social progress.
