Lil Wayne, Lil Yachty, and Mikę Will Made-It chart some serious highs and serious lows in the new music video for their recent collaborative single, “High3r.”
The visual jumps between close-up shots of the three artists performing the song and three different vignettes that play off the themes of “High3r.” In the first, a couple’s euphoric night turns horrific after one too many pills; in the second, a wild joy ride ends with a seemingly inevitable crash; and in the last, a lovelorn pharmacists finds himself on the harrowing end of an armed robbery.
“High3r,” which was released last week, will appear on Mike Will’s upcoming solo album, R3SET, his first since 2017’s Ransom 2. Speaking with Rolling Stone, he said of the new record, “Sometimes you just gotta hit the reset button. R3SET to me doesn’t mean starting over, it means setting up to Release All New Songs Orchestrated by Me again.” (The capitalizations in the second part of his quote are a nod to his 2014 debut album, Ransom).
Mike Will added: “We’re in the middle of a cultural renaissance, and after losing my hard drives I realized that my challenges came right on time. I’m excited to share the new wave.”
