Yep. you read that correctly.
Adding to the recent since-deleted video of ASAP Rocky and Beck at the Fruit and Veg Market outside the Hacienda off Capel Street last year, the video for Baby Keem and Kendrick Lamar’s new song ‘The Hillbillies’ features the pair rapping to the song in Stephen’s Green Shopping Centre of all places.
Keem and Kendrick can be seen going up and down the escalators of the shopping centre, and hanging out on the second floor of the centre outside the TK Maxx and on the ground floor at the Jump Juice bar and side entrance, while also dancing on King Street South outside the Stock and Jacadi shops.
The video was shot on tour by Neal Farmer and you can see the Dublin bit at 59 seconds onwards and they appear throughout.
The song samples Bon Iver’s lockdown song ‘PDFLIF‘ which itself samples Alabaster dePlume’s ‘Visit Croatia’.
We reviewed the show from the The Big Steppers Tour in Dublin in November.
