Don't pray on Troy Ave's "Downfall" because he's here to stay.

Troy Ave is a controversial figure in New York's rap scene. Some love him, some hate him. There does not appear to be an in-between for Troy. Those who dislike him and his music have wished for him to fail since he came up and this song is specifically dedicated to them. Troy sings, "If you're praying on my downfall, better gets yourself some kneepads" as he drives around with blood on his face. In a different scene, Troy shows out for the camera in the forest, while a red-masked, black-cloaked man lurks in the background.

The video explores some lo-fi vibes that are becoming oversaturated in rap videos while keeping things well-lit and delving into different themes throughout. Those that are wishing for Troy Ave's collapse will have to wait a bit longer.
