Taking us on a tour of New York through his eyes.
Just days removed from A$AP Ferg and MadeinTYO’s collaboration, “Wam,” the Hood Pope has already returned with a new single and accompanying visual on “Floor Seats.”
Taking the viewer through his hometown New York streets, the “Floor Seats” visual is a journey — plain and simple. With quick cuts, some jarring imagery, cool cinematic touches, this official video acts as a manifestation of Ferg himself: taking something relatively ordinary, the streets of uptown New York, and creating something extraordinary out of it; Ferg is just a kid from Harlem, but through perseverance and resolve, he’s converted his ordinary origin into an extraordinary legend.
Showing Ferg as his current self — gold-grilled and all — in his hometown environment brings this juxtaposition full-circle, and is implicitly motivational; with a vision and tenacity, anyone can transform their mundane surroundings into humble beginnings.
Oh, and the song is an absolute banger, too.
With a gritty sonic core reminiscent of the Harlem streets that raised Ferg, “Floor Seats” recruits the Hood Pope’s fiery, menacing flow to impart an invigorating track.
Listen to and watch “Floor Seats” below:
