Rich Brian shares video for summer anthem ‘100 Degrees’

August 13 2019

Indonesian rapper Rich Brian premieres the official video for new single “100 Degrees” WATCH HERE. Taken from Rich Brian’s new album, The Sailor, “100 Degrees” is a thematic departure from previous singles “Kids” and “Yellow.” Produced by 1Mind (French Montana’s “Unforgettable”) and Kid Culture, the song is reminiscent of the hot summer days when pool, libraries and movie theatres become the best escape from the heat. Directed by DAPS (Migos, Wizkid and Drake), the video follows a disinterested Brian as he floats through the chaos of the summertime. The video also contains a cameo appearance of a GoJek driver as part of Rich Brian’s collaboration with the leading Southeast Asian technology platform.

The Sailor, out now on 88rising, exclusively distributed by 12Tone, has reached over 60 million streams since its release—listen here and watch the album’s accompanying Sing J.
