Detroit hip-hop veterans Valid and Stretch Money have released a brand new single and video titled “Game Film” ahead of their upcoming LP, Bill & Isiah. The song features potent, well-crafted verses that pay homage to classic 80s cinema, expertly laced between slick flows and clever bars. The accompanying video aptly enhances the song’s themes, utilizing VHS-style shots and retro sports settings to evoke a sense of nostalgia for the era.
With playful yet stylish verses and focused production, “Game Film” is a modern hip-hop banger that combines trap-infused percussion, airy harps, and surreal strings to conjure a unique atmosphere.
