The 2 super powers of US hip-hop deliver here a true hymn to entrepreneurship and initiatives of the black American community. After several economic, health and social crises, such as the recent one related to Covid-19 and the demonstrations that followed George Floyd’s death, the 2 artists who have always been committed to promoting the leadership of the African-American community join forces to deliver Entrepreneur and its inspiring visual produced by Calmatui.

Decidedly, the foal of Young Thug is generous.

- Migos feat. Youngboy Never Broke Again – Need it :
If the collaboration between the Atlanta group and the Baton Rouge, Louisiana-born rapper dated earlier this year, the quartet releases a hyper dynamic clip featuring the artists wearing a white marcel who evolve in a video filled with humor. A video directed by Wyatt Winfrey and the Migos themselves. The clip is a clear reference to the parody film Spoof Movie with Offset as the gangsta Loc Doc, this time wearing pacifiers. Alternating sequences at the wheel of a vintage car or in pool party mode, the 4 artists deliver a clip in the image of their song: energetic and efficient. Need it should be part of the next opus of Migos, whose date has not yet been announced as the 20-year-old rapper – who was arrested by the police a few days ago with Snoop Dogg – will release his next album Top, he announced soberly on his social networks a few days ago, on September 11.

From the beginning of the video, we see the rapper with Yo Gotti sitting at the table of a label to sign a contract that does not suit them… The rapper’s prison visits to his friend are a good illustration of the title of the new single from 42 Dugg. Between sadness and success, the artist from Detroit talks to us about subjects that touch an entire community of artists …
