D.R.A.M. Gets the Parking Lot Popping in “Signals (Throw It Around)” Video

The weather is slowly but surely warming up and it's time to get outside. With SXSW 2016 in the books, hip-hop is starting to feel the heat and act accordingly. For Hampton, Virginia's D.R.A.M., that means getting the parking lot poppin' in his new video for "Signals (Throw It Around)."

Dropped today (March 22), the lighthearted visual finds the smiley MC serenading a slew of ladies in a parking lot on a sunny day while ironically rapping about how much of a tease girls can be. The only problem is when one of D.R.A.M.'s girls sees him getting at every other girl in the place, things pop off. Day falls to night amid colored smoke, lowriders and girls in short skirts while D.R.A.M. finds another lovely lady to woo. The video ends with a hyphy dance breakdown from D.R.A.M. and even a quick cameo from Chance The Rapper.

"Signals (Throw It Around)" is a dreamy cut off D.R.A.M.'s last EP Gahdamn!, which he dropped this past October. If this song is indicative of anything about D.R.A.M.'s talent, it's that he's not your run of the mill Southern hip-hop act.

When XXL caught up with the dancing dread head for his first feature, The Break, D.R.A.M. cited his influences as "funk, old school, oldie but goodies, the shit that our parents grew up on: Parliament, P funk, George Clinton, Bootsy Collins.

"I always wanted to be the one that you can never put your finger on," he continued. "I think that even in my personality I just don’t want to be that guy in the box."

D.R.A.M. had a successful SXSW 2016, performing at six shows and bringing out neo-soul legend Erykah Badu in Dallas, Texas a day after the festival's end.
