Kodak Black releases a music video for his “201519971800” song

Hailing from the sun-soaked streets of Pompano Beach, Florida, Kodak Black has solidified his place in hip-hop with raw lyricism and unfiltered energy. Born Dieuson Octave in 1997, the rapper rose from trap houses to Atlantic Records stardom, blending street tales with melodic vulnerability. His breakout hits like “No Flockin” and “Tunnel Vision” captured a generation’s grit, but it’s tracks like “201519971800” that reveal his deeper layers.

Released in November 2017 as the lead single for his mixtape Project Baby 2: All Grown Up, the song flips Drake and Beyoncé’s “Can I” into a moody, rain-soaked confessional. Over hazy production, Kodak grapples with trust issues, betrayal, and relentless hustle: “I got trust issues with these women, I got trust issues with my friends / I be stressing ’bout this money, can’t even get no rest.” It’s a duality—turn-up anthems meet introspective poetry—showcasing his growth amid legal battles and fame’s pressures.

The official music video, directed with atmospheric flair, amplifies the mood. Lit by flickering candles, Kodak croons in pouring rain, his drenched frame symbolizing emotional turmoil. Subtle visuals of urban isolation and fleeting connections pulse with the beat, turning vulnerability into visual poetry. Fans hailed it as a “mini therapy session,” blending trap aesthetics with cinematic depth. In a genre of bravado, Kodak’s honesty endures—proof Pompano’s prodigy is here to stay.
