Jaden Smith drops off the visuals for “Scarface”
Jaden Smith isn’t one for big promotional rollouts and
longwinded explanations—when he drops new music it typically just appears on his cryptic website 490tx. Such is the case of a new song, which Complex reports is most likely titled “Scarface.” Over spare, percussive production Jaden lets loose a series of vague, mystical bars about the past, the future, and having his “jewelry on purposely.”
In the video, cloaked figures scamper around a dimly-lit estate, while Jaden sits on ledges and leaps over walls.
The whole thing feels a bit like a cross between Assassin’s Creed and Twin Peaks. The song ends dramatically, as Jaden repeats “the government will not be killing me, no, the government will not be”—suddenly a shot rings out, and he disappears from view.
