Almost a year after Gold Link first dropped his Kaytranada-produced track, we’ve now been gifted with some visuals to go with it.

Almost a year after GOLDLINK first dropped his Kaytranada-produced track, we’ve now been gifted with some visuals to go with it.

We’re at a house party. Following a beautiful girl, scantily clad in a thong and heels. She leads us through an amusing series of the usual suspects you get lining the walls at these murky college house parties.

Directed by Shomi Patwary, who’s also been behind the camera for A$AP Rocky, Diplo, Beyonce and Pusha T, the video is an ambient take on the red cup American classic. There’s an element of the surreal, what with the slow-mo camera and red tinted filters, which make you think that these aren’t quite such sober thoughts.

The song itself centres around that classic call and response structure of easy listening hip-hop, as GoldLink murmurs out scenarios to the group reply ‘I got dat’. It’s a laidback and melodic vibe that is matched well by the video. Have a look below and transport yourself back to that drunken haze of Friday night college days.
