2 Chainz and Lil Wayne have debuted an accompanying music video for their latest single, “Money Maker.”

Helmed by Bryan Barber, the visual honors historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs) and its revered marching band and dance team cultures. The track, produced by Playa Pizzle, alrady utilizes sounds familiar with marching bands, and the two rappers feature several schools including Alabama State University, Florida A&M University, Southern University and A&M College, Clark Atlanta University and Texas Southern University. The visual ends with a short note of gratitude that reads, “HBCU’s, we thank you.”

The song was first previewed during 2 Chainz and Rick Ross’ VERZUZ Battle, and many are hoping for the single to lead up to ColleGrove 2. Official announcements from either artists are yet to be made, but Weeezy seems quite busy in the studio with No Ceilings 3 and Tha Carter VI.

Elsewhere in music, T.I. and Young Thug reunited for the track “Ring.”
