Anderson .Paak - Lockdown (Music Video)
By: Trevor Siebold IG/Twitter: @musicbytrev
It’s music like this that separates the legendary artists from the temporary artists. Anderson .Paak’s new song and visual, ‘Lockdown,’ is an instant classic and a perfect example of people using their platforms to inspire change.
A feeling of unity and strength is conveyed throughout the whole video. For example, the first scene shows Syd, Dominic Fike, and other artists present alongside .Paak. We even get a scene later on of Jay Rock rapping for Syd, which is crazy in itself. As the video progresses, we see .Paak reflecting from different situations; needing to be calmed down by a friend, walking on empty streets at night, and finally, comforting his son as .Paak himself sheds tears.
As listeners, we get to hear Anderson .Paak’s perspective on everything from COVID-19, to police brutality, to empowering the black community. So, yeah… we think it’s safe to say he’s one of the legendary artists at this point. Go give this one an honest listen today!
Lyrics That Stick:
“Quick, say a lil prayer
Matter fact I need two
Oh, won’t he do it?”
