@PdotO_SA Debuts The Video For "BLACK WATERS"

PdotO's "BLACK WATERS" can be described as a lyrical flex. From the actual content, listeners can infer that PdotO is telling the story of his grind and rap style, almost as if he were publicly motivating himself, using metaphors related to God over a Silas Beats instrumental. 

Pairing monochromatic visuals to a song offer the music video an air of authenticity to the lyrics; however, only when used correctly. The music video, shot by Fine Pictures, features the rapper walking along a lonely road, clad in all black, save for his Nike kicks and the white embroidery of his beanie, in addition to a camo print backpack. The camera work features 360-degree views of the rapper performing along the path with minimal post-production effects and editing. 

While people often ask for music videos to have storylines, this one, in particular, is made raw and candid by the fact that it features only the performer. Granted, from a production point, there are moments where viewers may get distracted by the occasional lack of sync between the audio and visuals. Nevertheless, the music video is inspiring, a concept that may not have been the initial intention, however, becomes the overall impact.
