Cape Town-born rapper GR8FUL kicks off the year with the official music video for his single, 'Gimmicks'.
The track, featuring Priddy Ugly and KindlyNxsh, has been making waves on South African airwaves, establishing itself as a standout radio single.
Produced by Herc Cut The Lights, KindlyNxsh, and BZM, with executive production from Shishiliza, Gimmicks embodies the raw essence of hip-hop - lyrical precision, unwavering authenticity, and a deep-rooted sense of loyalty.
The Some Idiots Studios - directed music video brings the song’s themes to life, visually representing GR8FUL’s relentless grind and artistic evolution. Each rapper’s presence in the video symbolizes their journey and unshakable position in the game, with three distinct settings that reflect their individual mindsets and personas.
Priddy Ugly commands the screen in a mafia-inspired scene, embodying the aura of a seasoned boss - unmoved, calculated, and always in control. His presence reinforces his stature in the industry, showing that he is a force to be reckoned with.
KindlyNxsh takes on the role of a butcher, a powerful metaphor for his razor-sharp skills as a lyricist.

GR8FUL, at the heart of it all, is in the kitchen - cooking up his success, one track at a time.
