After his return with the banger ‘Giddy Up’, Bobby Basil is up on his brag game with ‘Jeep’, a satirical song featuring wonky evocative production from CLU (who had a new tune out last week too).
The video accentuates a false confidence bravado stance with Bobby and his crew of supersoaking Dutch-Gold swigging women.
Bobby is exploring similar territory to ‘Giddy Up’ which addressed the fetishisation of the working class:
“This is a symbol on how crime life and the working class struggles can be romanticised in hip-hop and movies , particularly by the middle and upper class who have the privilege to find it entertaining.”
