In the music video, he and his “underwater squad” identifies with the Orcas’ predatory nature, leading a pack of whales in an Orca-inspired BMW. They are additionally seen rebelling against society’s control as they venture out under a desert realm from the bottom of the ocean.
His EP Self Portrait is set to be released on CXSHXNLY, and will feature an fused work of Keith Ape’s unique style of wavy and psychedelic hip-hop.

To date, the music video has acquired over 26 million views.
