We’ve had our eye on Gee Watts for some time now, and with the stark, piercing double video for “Gator Dance” and “Dreams,” he’s reached another new high. In the first half, we have an older man doing a sort of sanded-down, thai chi version of pop and- ocking as “Gator Dance,” plays its tongue twisting visions of project pain (“Coronors calling Kiki, auntie funeral grieving / mama’s a wreck she be, stressing no longer eating,”). In the second half, the visuals take a bit of a hit, leaving behind the magnetic dancer for a more typical shot of Gee, seated in an abandoned building, rapping to himself. The track’s vibrant lyrics and flow, and Gee’s pinpoint passion while performing it, keep the video highly entertaining. This Kansas City MC has now come closer than ever to the level he’ll need to maintain if he wants to ride atop the tidal wave of thoughtful underground rap that he clearly aspires to.
