Director Jae opens up the music video with some great aerial shots of Detroit during the winter before jumping into the thick of things with Elzhi laying on a bed. The story loosely follows that of the 2004 film Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, shifting between shots of a present-day and a younger Elzhi as he rides his bike with his friends down the street, attends a funeral, and falls in love. Above all, the song is an open letter to the late, great J Dilla. The video winds down with some shots of J Dilla memorabilia in Elzhi’s room and a current day Elzhi waking up, leaving us to wonder if the experiment went according to plan.
Elzhi’s new album, Lead Poison, is available for pre-order now, with an expected release date of March 25.
