“‘Stayed Down’ is a Chicago anthem about staying loyal to where you came from.” – Taco

The music video finds Taco and his supporters displaying their loyalty on screen. The video was filmed in the well-known neighborhood (where Taco is from) Leclaire Courts. Also, the visuals include shots from some of Taco’s high-energy shows, including his last performance on a boat which cruised the downtown Chicago area.

Taco displays his strength to portray who he truly is through his raps. His ‘Stayed Down’ single gives listeners insight into the good and challenging times of living in the city of Chicago.

‘Stayed Down’ contains a relatable narrative, melodic raps, and a groovy instrumentation flavored with horns and jittery drums.
