Malmo, Sweden Why takes it back to the glory days of Yo! MTV Raps and the Golden Era with his new single and video, “The Veteran (Out To Get The Props).”
Paying homage to the late 80s and early 90s isn't just a style choice for Why-D, it's out of respect for a time period that made him the artist he is. “That's the era that shaped me and that's what I was trying to bring back with this video.” says the rapper/producer. “The Kangol hats I wear symbolize that I am now a veteran in the game that was influenced by veterans before me.”
Aside from Kangol, you'll see plenty of other “old school,” though still highly sought after, fashion in the video like FILA, Polo, and Champion, among others. Retro visuals aside, the track itself sounds like it came from that time period thanks to Why-D's sampled production and slick, conversation-heavy bars.
Check out the graphics and head over to yours preferred digital retailer or streaming platform; to support. Stay tuned for more music from Why-D's upcoming album, The Work of a Dolistexpected to be released this fall!
