Ahead of next month’s ERROR 404 project, NASAAN has rolled out the self-directed video for the Royce Da 5’9”-featuring "GOATED."

In it, NASAAN, who also edited the new video, pays tribute to his late father, Proof, by recreating the D12 founder’s oft-referenced 1999 MTV News freestyle clip with Eminem. Notably, the "GOATED" video’s release arrives on April 11, i.e. 18 years to the day since Proof was fatally shot at the age of 32.

Expect to hear "GOATED" a lot this year, as NASAAN has landed a partnership with ESPN and the NBA that sees the song being given the four-month licensing deal treatment. This means you’ll likely hear it during the playoffs, not to mention at other NBA-sanctioned events.
