Ahead of next month’s ERROR 404 project, NASAAN has rolled out the self-directed video for the Royce Da 5’9”-featuring "GOATED."
In it, NASAAN, who also edited the new video, pays tribute to his late father, Proof, by recreating the D12 founder’s oft-referenced 1999 MTV News freestyle clip with Eminem. Notably, the "GOATED" video’s release arrives on April 11, i.e. 18 years to the day since Proof was fatally shot at the age of 32.
Expect to hear "GOATED" a lot this year, as NASAAN has landed a partnership with ESPN and the NBA that sees the song being given the four-month licensing deal treatment. This means you’ll likely hear it during the playoffs, not to mention at other NBA-sanctioned events.
ERROR 404, out May 31, was previously teased with the release of the Icewear Vezzo collaboration "CULLINAN GANG," complete with an official video by Unpaused Studios. abytron, Swavay, Pooh Beatz, and Turbo are also set to make appearances on the Assemble Sound and Atlantic Records release.
Royce, meanwhile, is fresh off the recent rollouts of "Never Leaving" with Grafh and "Run the Light" with Long Story Longer and MRK SX last month. Revisit both below.
