The unstoppable Migos continues its reign with a new video for “Deadz” featuring 2 Chainz, which nabs the number one slot for Thursday’s (February 23) DX Digest, much like the trio’s recent album, Culture.Thundercat’s collaboration with Kendrick Lamar, “Walk On By,” follows closely behind, while Young Scooter and Young Thug’s “Cook Up” sizzles with production from Metro Boomin and Zaytoven in the fourth position. Audio Push’s “Smokeout ’99,” an instrumental version of De La Soul’s Grammy Award-nominated And The Anonymous Nobody, Khalid’s “American Teen,” Jidenna’s “Bambi,” Belly and Future’s “Frozen Water,” Ace Hood’s “Guess Who,” Locksmith’s “Nobody,” and a freestyle from Dreamville Record’s J.I.D also help reel in the weekend. Dive in.
migos f. 2 chainz – “deadz”
Migos continues its winning streak with a new video for “Deadz” featuring 2 Chainz, which follows their chart-topping album,Culture. Directed by Daps, who also directed the winterized cinematic video for “T-Shirt,” the video has a similar dramatic feel with an orchestra and dead presidents in a collection of caskets. Dressed to kill, the four rappers swap lyrics over the bass heavy, Cardo-produced track, sending a little message Migos is here to stay … at least for now. Check out the video above.
