ASAP Rocky & Baauer Team Up On 'Riot Rave'
ASAP Rocky has put together the video for his track 'Riot Rave', featuring trap producer Baauer.
Having released just one album last year, ASAP ROCKY has taken up producing for his next project under the title Lord Flacko. Having already announced the first release of his production work - Beauty And The Beast: Slowed Down Sessions Chapter One, he's gone on to co-direct the clip to one of its tracks, 'Riot Rave'.
Using a distorted, tainted voice that could fit right into a Saw film, 'Riot Rave' addresses its viewers with a warning about the "art video" that is to ensue. An explanation for what the video is promote, the cause of this document is to proclaim a message for the youth and different people that live within it. What we then go on to see is ASAP Rocky himself leading a crowd of young people, eager to go and destruct the streets of New York City; still keeping in mind the reason for their discipline.
From here on in, the centre of our screen is occupied by an abundance of dudes messing up the pavement, involving themselves with the police and disrupting the streets as they fleet through them in packs. To the left and right of this action are edited stills and live images of classical art appropriated, feisty animal heads and graphics of fire and blossoming flora. Backed up by the ambience of 'Riot Rave' itself (including the help of trap producer Baauer), the video carries a purpose with every medium it contains.
