Putting the “I” in “Team”

Production on this tune comes with Moula 1st’s signature heavy style. A sample of dramatic orchestral violins is processed and chopped into a futuristic and powerful sound. Throughout the track, a deep reese bass holds down the bottom end while a trumpet lead line keeps increasing the energy as Moula 1st spits. With a spacious approach to rap, Moula’s bars are ripe with punchlines and captivating energy. “I swear your ass must be confused, I got one that looks like you, guess I’m going to have to choose”. His playfulness is on full display from the opening lines “I think I’m sick achoo achoo”.

Video direction comes from New Wave Visuals, who imbues the vid with a sense of luxury. Shot mostly in an aircraft hanger, snow falls down hard just outside as Moula performs his song. Moving with confidence and style around a propeller airplane, the rapper gives the impression that this is just another day for him. Afterward, a model sits on his lap inside the plane. The neon pink lights of the interior add to the vibe, with transition effects of a snowstorm hopping between shots. Altogether, Moula 1st’s swagger in the video is undeniable.
