Watsky - Advanced Placement

[@gwatsky]

I shot this video with a small crew of friends on a backpacking trip. I had to learn to stilt-walk. So much went into getting some of these visuals that would be hard to understand without seeing the BTS. Everything in pursuit of the goal 'have fun while creating with your friends.' I hope you enjoy our adventure.

[@LeviWarnos]

Thank you for bringing (by far) the most unsacrificing brilliance in modern art in quite some time. See you in Detroit in April! That's a guarantee.

Word's to live by. Awesome stuff man.

Such an otherworldly video and song combo Hey though Watsky i want you to make some mainstream-ish sounding rap songs ( not lyrically ) with bass and shizz, that's literally the only place left that you haven't experimented in

There is just so much going on in the video: He is holding gold that he cannot let go of which makes him drag and there is a horned figure with a big gold chain (both part of the same). Great stuff.
