Set in an extravagant New York church matched like a sommelier to the JohnBoyBeats produced track, the video for ‘Say Amen’, rising Spanish Harlem MC BODEGA BAMZ eerie gospel banger off of his excellent 2012 mixtape Strictly 4 My P.A.P.I.Z is quite the spectacle.
The Walu directed video opens with BAMZ collecting fat wads of cash from a procession of leather clad and balaclava wearing rappers as they file into the church.
Surrounded by the chapels marvelous frescos and the beats swirling operatic howls guest rapper A$AP FERG, in full ‘trap lord’ regalia (outfit of the year nominee), barks out his best Rick Ross impersonation on the hook, assuring the congregation of forgiveness as long as they say accept him as their savior and say amen.
The two rappers then take their turns in the confession booth but neither of them seem all too sorry for their actions, more so just fearful of death.
