My buddy over at Atlantic Records hit me up to shoot some behind-the-scenes stuff for a music video. I asked who it was for, and when he said Kodak Black and 22Gz, I immediately asked for the address. Turns out, it was at a laundromat just down the street from me.
The moment I showed up, it was already a whole scene—neighborhood kids spotted the security crew wearing Kodak’s brand, and word spread quick. At one point, the director turned to the crowd and said, “Y’all can be in the background, but if it gets too rowdy, the cops will shut us down.” Some 16-year-old fired back, “If they shut down the video, we’ll shut down the block,” then casually lifted his shirt to flash a glock in his waistband.
Later, I was talking to Kodak about a mutual we both know from Florida—the guy who did his face tats when he was just a kid. Kodak smiled, said “That’s my boy,” and pulled me into a hug. I think we were all a little surprised by that one—even his security.
