Royce 5’9” has shared an accompanying music video for “Upside Down,” the newest single off his forthcoming album The Allegory. Enlisting the help of Ashley Sorrell for the soft hook and a verse from Griselda‘s Benny The Butcher, the visual sees the Detroit-born rapper as a pastor preaching the injustices in society today.

“I always like to shine a light on things that I see happening within our culture but this particular song was a chance for me to just spilt some crazy shit next to my man Benny who represents a new generation of spitters,” Royce told Billboard.

The Allegory is expected to drop very soon and will feature guest appearances from the likes of Westside Gunn, YBN Cordae, Conway the Machine and more within its 22-song tracklist.
