Activities that are almost synonymous to the Flats—car spinning, street dance, brass bands—are showcased through the eyes of director Feti. It’s activities that are close to the artist’s heart. The visuals are pleasing to the eye, and they accompany a jolly song built over electronic production with thumping bass and loud synths and claps—a production style that the rapper experimented with in her 2018 EP, <em>Resilient</em>. The multilayered “Go High Go Low” was produced by <strong>Fakear</strong>, <strong>Pouvior Magique</strong> and <strong>Einki</strong>.</p><p><a href=”https://www.okayafrica.com/dope-saint-jude-go-high-go-low-video/” target=”_blank”>Find out more</a></p>
