D.R.A.M.

"$" (ft. Donnie Trumpet) (video)

D.R.A.M. isn't happy about Drake allegedly jacking his "Cha Cha" beat for "Hotline Bling," but evidently he isn't sweating it too much, since he just rolled out a new video for his song "$."

The introspective hip-hop track (which is more simply referred to as "Money") starts with melancholic piano and downcast singing, but it gets more uplifting during the horn-boosted, money-glorifying chorus (which features Chance the Rapper's collaborator Donnie Trumpet). The accompanying video combines childhood home videos with celebratory church clips and a storyline that illustrates the challenges of D.R.A.M.'s personal life. It all makes for a nuanced combination moods.

Watch it below.

"$" appears on the Gahdamn! EP, which is out this Friday (October 23) via Atlantic.
