Bobby Basil is riding shotgun in ‘Jeep’

Words: Dylan Murphy

The Dublin rapper is back with a new satirical take on traditional gangster bravado.

Following the release of his track ‘Giddy Up’ Bobby Basil is back with a fantastical new video.

Exploring themes of class dysmorphia and romanticisation of working class struggles, the character is indulges in bloated stereotypes of hyper-masculinity as he is surrounded by a group of women with super soakers.

Featuring production from London-based Irish producer Clu, the track’s spacey undertones provide an ample setting for Bobby’s trademark flow.

Watch the video for ‘Jeep’ below:

Elsewhere on District: Oneohtrix Point Never and Rosalía join forces on ‘Nothing’s Special’.
