Tobiahs Notes:
"We open on Ace (the rapper) outside a club/party, in a suit that's been a little weathered by the night's partying. He's trying to get a girl's attention, but she's completely uninterested. Playing it off like the rejection didn't land, he carries on leaving, saying goodbye to the security and the faces he knows out front of the line.


From there he begins the walk to the next destination.


The song's intro and outro sound like they sit just outside a nightclub, which is where the idea of beginning and ending in that environment comes from."

One Take Walk Through Club

But instead we reverse the themes. Instead of picking up the girl he gets rejected and walks through the club ready to hop for his set. Dapping up bouncers, saying hello to patrons & clout chasers alike.

Beginning would be have this type of energy (brushing it off and carrying on)

Follows Rico on a night out along a lit street. Different things unfold. Maybe it starts outside the club and along a club line?
