Before the “23” video was released, Mike WiLL spoke with HipHopDX about the clip.
“It’s like a school setting,” Mike WiLL Made It said in an exclusive interview with HipHopDX in September. “It’s like a pep-rally, a school scene…The video is like, I go in, I take over the school, trick the principal and start playing ’23’ over the intercom. The whole school is turnt up. Everybody just starts going ham…It’s kind of how I came into the game. I came in, this new dude, that kind of just took over the game and brought everybody together and ended up being kind of the cool kid in the game. It’s the same shit with that.”
