Unapologetic artist and Music Video Monday veteran A Weirdo From Memphis is releasing his first mixtape in five years. “Recessionary Indicator” is a change of tone for the bunny-eared rapper. His music has always had a dark side, but the lead single “UGLASS FREESTYLE” reveals our hero grappling with these troubled times. “Its the first song I wrote after deciding to stay here. The world is dark, weโ€™re not going to be OK, and this is music that feels like that.”

The video, shot at Outerspace Studios by Jackson Hendrix and LizBot, stays tight on AWFM’s riveting performance. You can experience AWFM’s rare skills in person at 7 p.m. this Saturday, at Red at the Black, his mixtape release show at Cxffeeblack.
