With tongue-twisting rhymes and an authoritative bark that belies his age, North Carolina’s Well$ brings a fierce energy to his music. In the video for “’98 Juvie (Remix),”the 21-year-old rapper recruits fellow Charlotte emcee Deniro Farrar for a tour of Charlotte’s less-frequented spots, including abandoned warehouses, project streets, and even a graveyard.
Well$ and Farrar pay homage to New Orleans legend Juvenile, as they trade aggressive, region-specific rhymes over Sipho The Gift’s booming symphony of dramatic strings, skittering hi-hats, operatic vox, and marimba. “’98 Juvie (Remix)” is the first single from the Immaculate Taste artist’s forthcoming mixtape “The Way I’m Living Makes My Mom Nervous.”
