Earlier in the month, A-Trak and Falcons released "Ride For Me" with 24hrs and Young Thug. The single is likely one of the few offerings we'll receive from Young Thug this year. According to A-Trak, he and Thug have been working with each other for five years and have much more music in the stash. Not much of it has surfaced but A-Trak now delivers the official video for "Ride For Me" with a heavy influence of 90's skateboard culture.
A-Trak delivers the official video for "Ride For Me" with Thug and 24hrs. A-Trak explained on Instagram that he reached out to the co-founder of Zoo York, Eli Morgan Gesner, who he's been best friends with for nearly 20 years. Eli had a bunch of old skate videos from 1994 that he was digitizing and A-Trak reached out to him to brainstorm the video for "Ride For Me." Eli suggested he uses some of his old skate footage and cut it with shots of Young Thug and 24hrs with the same camera they used then.
