The music video is estimated to have cost R1 million and was shot in only 23 hours. 

Kwesta enlisted 'Skeem Skaam' director Tebogo Malope to helm the video and he produced one of the most imagery rich videos to date.

The music video showcases real people in the township with beautiful cinematography by the director and brilliant editing of said images. 

Filmed in Kwesta's hometown of Katlehong in Ekurhuleni, and the popular night club in Soweto Zone 6, the rapper gave a 4-minute look into the lives of black South Africans that aren't seen on a regular basis. 

The song also features US rapper Wale as a featured artist with Nigerian born American rapper Jidenna also making a cameo in the video.
