[HOST] Young Thug and Lil Uzi Vert link up
for a video for their melodic flexing track
“What’s the Move.”
[HOST] Produced by frequent Thug collaborator
BL$$D, “What’s the Move” is the 9th
track off of Young Thug’s August 2019 album,
“So Much Fun.”
[HOST] Thugger kicks the cut off searching
for answers in a relationship.
[HOST] Thug could be singing about his girlfriend
Jerrika Karlae who’s made her own appearance
on tracks like “U Aint Slime Enough” from
the 2018 YSL compilation album ‘Slime Language.’
[HOST] Uzi opens up the song’s first verse
flexing his diamond teeth as well as giving
a nod to designers Raf Simons and Rick Owens.
[HOST] Splurging on jewelry is nothing new
for Uzi - something he mentions on 2016’s
“Money Mitch” off of the “The Perfect
LUV Tape”
[HOST] Back on “What’s the Move,” Thug
picks up right where Uzi left off, continuing
to flaunt his ice-- specifically his wrist
game.
[HOST] Uzi and Thug have been working together
for years, going back to 2015 when the two
linked up for "Yamborghini Dream" off of Uzi's
‘Luv is Rage.’
[UZI]: “Oh, you know me and Young Thug have
about 1,500 songs together.”
[HOST] Thug even makes sure to shout out Uzi
on the track “Lil Baby” off ‘So Much Fun.'
[HOST] The “What’s the Move” video was
directed by Lonewolf for AWGE.
AWGE is the creative agency founded by A$AP Rocky
is known for its colorful and trippy visuals.
[HIDJI:] So AWGE is the video department.
It's the group, it's the team.
We all got different styles so its like combining
it is crazy.
It's like producers make beats, it's like
rappers do features.
Y'all got some sauce... we go throw some sauce
on it, and it's like that"
[HOST] The flick follows Thug and Uzi’s
escapades in New York City and even features
guest appearances from New York’s own A$AP
Rocky and A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie.
[HOST] Fans flocked to the music video following
its release, and since it dropped on October
11th it’s already racked up more than a million
views.
