Rich Brian Premieres Video For 100 DEGREES, New Album THE SAILOR Out Now

Indonesian rapper Rich Brian premieres the official video for new single "100 Degrees" today. 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.
