Starting trends as easily as she goes viral on social media, Sexyy Red is the perfect rap star for our era. Throwing it back to the days of ringtone rap and Juicy Couture, the St. Louis-born phenomenon shares the video for her new hit, “Get It Sexyy.”
Directed by Sexyy’s frequent collaborator Des Gray, the music video is a throwback to the aesthetic of the late-’00s, complete with choreographed dance challenges and early-internet iconography.
The video kicks off with a cameo from Soulja Boy, who absorbs Sexyy into an old fashioned television set and helps her develop a dance as infectious as his patented “Crank Dat.” The rest of the video is a non-stop party, featuring a self-deprecating cameo from Drake, as Sexyy’s date to a slushy establishment, and references to films like Step Up!, Roll Bounce, American Pie, and more.
The video includes additional cameos from Adin Ross, Rob49, Trippie Redd, Fabo, Tay Keith, Wizz Havinn, and more.
“Get It Sexyy” kicks an already-eventful 2024 into high gear for the 25-year-old artist, which includes a new project on the way. Sexyy Red made headlines with her performance at Rolling Loud California 2024, where she gave “Get It Sexyy” its live debut and later joined Chief Keef onstage during his set.
Earlier this year, Sexyy gave birth to her second child, a process that was fictionalized in the video for Drake’s “Rich Baby Daddy,” featuring Sexyy and SZA. The documentary-style video is one of the most talked-about and viewed music videos of the year, with over 13 million views in one month.
More recently, Sexyy connected with her close friend Summer Walker for the music video for “I Might,” a highlight from Hood Hottest Princess (Deluxe), Sexyy’s latest project, which came out in December.
