A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie's Hoodie SZN album continues to be a slow burn as he finally drops the visual for the project's hit single, "Swervin."
A Boogie plays with the fragility of life by having the visual begin with him trapped on a plane that just blew its engine. From there, his life flashes before his eyes as the visuals switch to the artist interacting with the female lead. But as the lyrics suggest, A Boogie doesn't dwell on this scene (or any) too long. The video quickly moves on to other phases of his life.
While this sounds like an incomplete montage, similar to Destiny's Child's "Say My Name" video, these scenes are spliced together in a way that follows the trajectory of A Boogie's lyrics. For example: when the Bronx native is rapping about the potential danger his enemies could face, he's doing so while laying back on an operating table. This also coincides with the video's initial plane crash scene. Yet when his lyrics swiftly motion to him flaunting his wealth and jewelry, the scene switches to the rapper in a strip club throwing money at the same female lead.
Towards the end, the video starts to mirror the duality of A Boogie's life, artistic style, and the song as it transitions from him walking on the ceiling of a luxury penthouse to him wearing a hoodie in the rain with a suspect character. Finally, the pieces all come together when A Boogie reunites with the same woman from the start.
