Clean Up (ft. Chance the Rapper)

Watch // Towkio ft. Chance The Rapper & The Era. "CLEAN UP" dir. by [LL]

Posted by Towkio on Tuesday, February 2, 2016

As leaders of Chicago's new school, Towkio and Chance the Rapper show it's cool to have fun in their latest video for "Clean Up." Displaying some mean footwork, Chance and Towkio take to the Chitown streets with a group of friends and laugh it up as they show off their best dance moves. The [LL] directed clip is simplicity at its finest and is a refreshing step away from the normal hip-hop staples of jewlery, fashion, alcohol and scantily-clad women.

Towkio and the SaveMoney crew sat down with XXL back in Feb. of 2015 and during the discussion, the breakout MC broke down what makes the crew so intriguing. “I don’t necessarily think it’s a new wave at all because there’s been people like us that’s existed this whole time,” he explained. “The fact that we, for the most part—everyone is a smart individual. So we were able to get the things we want and be able to avoid bad situations. We know how to finesse and shit. I don’t think that it’s a new wave but it’s something that’s being seen now, we’re the kids that was out here. We didn’t necessarily have to take full part in gang banging and all that shit because that shit is really lame, you know what I mean? It’s just people with their head on better, you know? I don’t think it’s a new thing but it’s new to everyone else.”

Towkio's 2015 mixtape .WAV Theory was one of the best of the year and should still be in rotation.
