GoldLink Portrays a Dance Battle Gone Wrong in “Spectrum” Video

GoldLink enlists the help of the 88 Rising team to craft a music video for his song "Spectrum" off the And After That, We Didn’t Talk album. The release also acts as the launch of Made in 88, a series of original music videos produced by 88 Rising. The RCA signee's up-tempo record becomes a fitting soundtrack for the dance battle in this visual.

"I learned a lot in such a short amount of time/Everything that's fucking fine and gold, it ain't mine/Met you when I was like maybe 15 years old and you/Just act a little older plus I heard you came from Arizona/And I was new so I was popping up at house parties/Riding fuckin' dirty wit the older niggas riding for me/And they just taught me how the game work/I said fuck it, I'ma push the rock and buy a lot of dumb shit/But fuck it was my initial thought when I had met you/I was sitting in the bleachers when your girls approached me/And they threw away your number like you wasn't taken or something/I told 'em baby, I'm nothing, say why you wanna choose me//They giggled and walked away, I prayed to God/It felt so right, I never knew the devil fucking looked this nice/So if you ever tried to blame it on me/I'ma blame it on my dick, know I'm sick, yeah I'd run through ya," GoldLink raps on the opening verse.

The music video depicts what appears to be a friendly dance battle. All the performers engage in some impressive moves before things take a turn for the worse. One dancer provokes another leading to a brawl. The loser of this fight decides to take drastic measures in her retaliation. The dancer comes back to shoot her rival with the victim falling in the hands of her partner to end the scene.
