Young Scooter continues his rap resurgence in 2018 following the release of Trippple Cross with a new music video off the project. “Drug Deals” is one of the standout songs off Trippple Cross despite the absence of big name features because of its raw, autobiographical nature. In the video, Scooter takes viewers back through his origin story but also focuses on the give-and-take of the drug trade–how drug use can devastate a community and how drug dealing can often provide opportunity for people to overcome their surroundings. The video focuses on the inner-workings of a drug dealing operation and how it affects everyone in Scooter’s neighborhood, from the young corner boys, to the women bagging the drugs, to the aging dope fiends whose lives were ruined by the drugs Scooter sold.
