Video: Rod Wave – Bottom Boy Survivor

Rod Wave’s voice is so beautiful and uplifting in “Bottom Boy Survivor” that I could glue my eyes shut and get lost in listening. Luckily for my eyes, the video which released last night is just as captivating. The song gets its power from Rod’s emotive singing and poignant lyrics that perfectly compliment a guitar-laden, breezy beat courtesy of TNT, Yung Tago, & Trillo.

In the video, Rod returns home to Florida, standing tall as grainy, dreamy images of his old neighborhood scroll by on screen, representing a past that is paradoxically unescapable but also well behind him and not a part of his present station in life. “Bottom Boy Survivor” is the concluding track of PTSD, his recent mixtape.
