Last summer, Leeds rapper ATO stunned us all with an incisive exploration of the black British experience in the UK, specifically the North. Now he's back with "Still Running", a single he released in March which has now been given a fresh video. 

The black-and-white visuals are refreshingly simple in their approach as they follow ATO through the streets of his hometown, as he runs through topics like spirituality, religion, his brother, life on the streets and the pitfalls of industry politics. Backed up by a G-funk-inflected production, his relaxed Northern flow twists and turns on the beat effortlessly, reminding us this rapper has a long and bright future ahead of him.

Peep the "Stull Running" video exclusively above.
