MUMBAI: Following the release of their acclaimed summer mixtape, ‘Sixtape 2’, rising LA hip-hop talents Blxst and Bino Rideaux drop the music video for their single “Pop Out”. Set in the streets of Los Angeles, the fast-paced visual shows the two South Central artists as they drive through the city, culminating in a late-night party.
“Pop Out was a good tone to start with because ‘Sixtape 2’ was highly anticipated,” says Blxst. “It was kind of a double meaning, speaking to a female but also speaking to our fans.” Bino Rideaux elaborates, “The track is just a testament to the amount of time it took us to double back for Part 2 as well as coming out of a pandemic. They been waiting on this and we have too. So we had to pop out one time.”
