What’s more to say about the visual for “Gotham F**king City” that hasn’t already been depicted in this short film? Smoke Dza and Joey Bada$$ trade bars in the stair cases over fresh Dilla production, while a harsh inner city plot unfolds. The musical selection is pulled from Dza’s tape, K.O.N.Y, which dropped during this past fall.

We’re big fans of Smoke Dza over here at RESPECT. and we feel he is a little underrated on the New York totem pole, so you know what happens when a new joint drops: just shut up and turn up the Kushed God. Go over to Live Mixtapes and cop his new mixtape, K.O.N.Y. It’s his latest project since his collaborative venture with producer Harry Fraud. It enlists producers like DJ Dahi, Lee Bannon, Harry Fraud, Ski Beats, and feature verses from A$AP Twelvy, Big K.R.I.T, Curren$y, King Chip, Ab-Soul, Fat Trel, Joey Bada$$ and more. While you’re at it check out the new visual for the title track below.
