King Louie - “Live & Die In Chicago” (Official Video)

King Louie – “Live & Die In Chicago” (Dir. DGainzBeats)

“Live & Die In Chicago” is a love song to a dangerous place, a song about being unable to leave the place you’re from even though you know there’s a good chance it’ll kill you. On one level, this looks like any low-budget Chicago rap video. But on another, it’s an image of both the beauty and the danger of Louie’s hometown. There’s a reason why those DGainz videos — he did “I Don’t Like,” too — feel instantly iconic. The man knows what he’s doing.
