![]() It's the first time in rap history where we’ve seen that many women on camera doing wild shit without any men around. At the same time, It's not a sexual video. ![]() There was nothing in there that was like, “Whoa, we can’t use that.” I don’t remember saying that during the editing. Were there any shots you had to take out because it might’ve been too racy?ĭaps: Not really, actually. Whose idea was it for them to be painted up as zebras and lions?ĭaps: I think it might’ve been Cardi’s and Yung Miami. Oh, obviously for the cinematic quality (laughs). One of my favorite videos from you is the video for City Girls and Cardi B’s “Twerk” song.ĭaps: (Laughs) I wonder why you like that one. Can you do it twice or three times? Can you do it for a month, a year or two years? When you’re given the opportunity you have to make sure you run with it properly. But when the eyes are on you, it's now up to you to keep on producing. So, that video was the start of a lot of things and it put the eyes on me. The song did well, and the video matched it. How did the video affect your career?ĭaps: That was the beginning of the beginning. The song “Bad and Boujee” changed Migos’s career from burgeoning stars to full-fledged international superstars. So, like I said, these guys are very loyal. We managed to knock out things back to back. After that, we knocked out “Bad and Boujee.” After that, it’s been history. We just happened to cross paths while we were out there, scheduling-wise. The first video I did for them was called “Cocoon.” That was when they were in London. ![]() How did you develop this relationship with that label and maintain it?ĭaps: It’s definitely been a blessing. You’ve done nearly every video for Quality Control, the record label for Migos, Lil Baby and City Girls. I like to think my style is more like pictures in motion. It’s a blessing to be part of that conversation and put artists on a certain platform. It’s the first time that's ever happened. Right now, we’re in an era where hip-hop music is the most consumed music in the world. I make street art palatable to a non-street audience. I take a street concept and I elevate it. Daps: I think I make the streets look good.
