He recently dropped music videos for “Pearl Fountain,” “Sippin,” “Afghanistan” and “Highway Patrol.” For the track “Eye Contact,” the Swedish-rapper goes for a more visually-stimulating interpretation of the single.

Either way, the mood of the film pairs nicely with the buzzy bassline and chant-like feel of the track.
