Jae Tips Gets Heartfelt In New "Insecure" Visual

Video screenshot

The timing of this clip is sharp. For his latest, New York’s rising star Jae Tips delivers a dope new visual for “Insecure,” which samples Låpsley‘s “Falling Short” (shouts to producer Dizzy Banko) and sees Jae going through the motions with his (beautiful!) significant other — a perfect match for the everyday, very-real feelings that he delivers on the multi-layered record:

…when you realize he corny, and I’m really a boss
He gon’ work for the man, ’cause his drive ain’t a Porsche
When I tell you I love you, you say something is off
When you actin’ hard-headed, I just touch where it’s soft
In your eyes I get lost, you got too much sauce
I be wylin’ I know, it won’t be like before
I be drankin’ and staring hopin’ you walk through that door
If I don’t clean up my act, you gon’ have my back?

I can’t help but smile at the fact that this arrives as the new season of Insecure — a show that addresses many of the same ups-and-downs dealt with in relationships — heads into full swing (hence the initial comment about timing)…nonetheless, “Insecure” is easily one of the hardest, most poignant cuts to arrive in Hip-Hop this year, and needs the attention it deserves.

Enjoy the video below. The track can be found on Jae Tips’ HypeBeast 3, available here.
