Bank robberies are easy peasy. The hard part is the getaway. Here in India, there's no one more motivated to get you where you wanna go than the gentlemen who drive auto rickshaws. In Kimthebeloved's new music video for Gass Dat featuring Tienna and DHP, their getaway is a badass auto guy racing through after a heist. The result is a fantastic narrative hook that sets the tone for a power-packed track about a reclamation of one's journey and identity.
On Gass Dat Kimthebeloved, Tienas, and DHP deliver a fierce, no-nonsense anthem fueled by raw, unfiltered lyricism. Busting any myths about what it is to actually pursue greatness, the rappers talk about not succumbing to the superficial pressures of fame or success. They remind us that real success is a steady grind and not a race for instant rewards.
Kimthebeloved’s hypnotic hook along with his steady cadence underscores a message of resilience, humility, and the importance of starting from the bottom. Tienas' verse brims with sharp social critiques, skewering elitist attitudes and empty fame. He takes a jab at privileged figures, notably 'podcast bros', who trivialize the struggles of the common man. DHP wraps the track with a sense of defiance, calling out those who fake their way to success, while solidifying his own skill and dedication, likening his craft to an obsession. Through a chess metaphor, he points to his strategic thinking and focus — qualities that set him apart from those just chasing clout.
Together, these verses underscore themes of perseverance and authenticity. A gritty cross-city collaboration, released under Azadi Records, Gass Dat is a fusion of streetwise bravado with introspective grit, capturing the grind and ambition of today’s underground.
