— Following the Halloween release of his anticipated HH5 mixtape, CEO Trayle continues to deliver top-tier visuals — this time for “Craxk Flow.”
Even the most indomitable horror villains have their weaknesses, and for a brazen bogeyman CEO Trayle, that Achilles’ heel is love. Taking a breather from his haunting of Atlanta, Trayle shares his new video for “Craxk Flow,” a standout from the acclaimed HH5 mixtape released on Halloween. Bolstered by Trauma Tone’s seductive saxophone production, “Craxk Flow” finds the artist who calls himself “Mr. Back Door” recounting his struggle with romantic consistency. Though he regales his love interests with lavish gifts, he falls short when it’s time to commit, but with good reason as he raps,
“Remember I had that b**** that stayed on Gresham Road
And I had that other b**** that stayed on Candler Road
And I had that other b**** that’s raised up by the 4
Told that b**** be careful with my heart cause that s*** broke.”
Directed by Never Panic Films, the video for “Craxk Flow” sees Trayle cooped up at the coziest secret lair of any supervillain in recent memory. Whether he’s sitting at the piano with his crimson Celine jacket draped over his shoulders, or kicking up his Dior sneakers on the table of his dimly-lit dining room, it’s clear that the suit-clad saxophone player soundtracking Trayle’s gloom from outside of his window is insufficient company to warm his ice-cold heart.
“Nightmares & Dreams”, the second video from HH5, received “Best New Music” accolades from Pitchfork — the crowning achievement in a busy year for CEO Trayle. Now, with HH5 in the books and much more music to come, CEO Trayle is primed to take over the rap game.
