Money Man drops '24' video featuring Lil Baby to honor Kobe Bryant, excited fans say they'll play it every day
Money Man unveiled a new music video for the remix version of '24' on September 28.
The original version of the track was released on February 21, 2020, as a single from the rapper's 18th mixtape 'Epidemic'. The version which has now been accompanied by a music video arrived on August 14, 2020, and is a remix version that features rapper Lil Baby. Both versions pay tribute to basketball player Kobe Bryant, who died in a helicopter crash in January 2020.
Apart from lyrics that refer to Bryant, the cover art features black mamba snakes in the form of basketballs with the number 24 on one of the snakes. "Black Mamba" was Kobe Bryant's nickname and 24 is the number he wore during his Hall of Fame career with the Los Angeles Lakers.
The new '24' visual shows the two rappers in front of their luxury vehicles spitting verses in a continuous flow over a melancholic guitar riff played on loop, a muddy bassline and trap beat. Unlike the cover art, the video also features Albino Burmese pythons wrapped around models in swimsuits by an indoor pool. Watch the official music video for '24' featuring Lil Baby below.
In the comments up on YouTube, Damien Sandoval, who directed the video, spoke about working with Money Man. "I have to say its always a pleasure working with Money Man. This is my 3rd video Ive done for him and each time he gets better n better," he said, adding, "This guy is one of the few rare humbled artist who I truly can say is a class act. Im rooting for this guy big time."
