Blimes And Gab Set The City On Fire In Their Apocalyptic ‘Baptism’ Video

The two warrior women stalk the streets of Los Angeles as they spit heat and flames fall from the skies. …

Fiery rap duo Blimes And Gab weren’t going to let 2020 go without releasing one last video from their acclaimed debut album Talk About It. But this time, instead of going for cheeky fun like the “Shellys (It’s Chill)” video or throwing a house party as they did in their lighthearted “Feelin It” video, in their new video for “Baptism” they bring the fire and brimstone, hearkening back to their days battle rapping and breaking hearts.

As the intro track from Talk About it, “Baptism” set the vibe early, letting fans know that these two artists are not here to play. The video is likewise deadly serious, as they march through the streets of Los Angeles dressed like the warfaring survivors of an apocalyptic movie while fire falls from the sky. They spit heat, too, with punchlines that land like bombs as meteorites do the same around them over the thundering drums.

Back in July, the duo told Uproxx what sets them apart and made 2020 their most successful year yet. “Part of our success has been from staying true to ourselves, and we both feel really strongly about staying true to ourselves,” said Blimes. “We both feel really strongly about dressing the way we want to dress, being comfortable, and sometimes that’s sexy. Sometimes that’s feminine. Sometimes that’s tomboy. Sometimes that’s comfortable. We know that there’s so many standards placed on women, and we really, really, really, really want to go against the external standards. You’re not going to tell me how to dress. You’re not going to tell me how I need to show up. I am the gatekeeper of my own personal comfort. I’m the gatekeeper of my own personal style. And so that’s really important to us in terms of being women.”

Remy Reilly Brings Soulful Fire in New Anthem ‘Dirty Work’

With every notice she sings, Remy Reilly makes you experience like she’s lived one hundred lives, and her ultra-modern launch, “Dirty Work,” isn’t any exception. Reilly’s one-of-a-kind pop-rock sound paired with her uncooked, soulful vocals makes “Dirty Work” an emotional rollercoaster that doesn’t let you off till you’ve confronted every bit of ache from past relationships—and come out more potent on the other facet.

“Dirty Work” is a candid confessional, deepening into the aftermath of betrayal. Reilly’s lyrics, steeped in vulnerability and self-reflection, explore the fear of intimacy and the relentless questions we ask ourselves after being harmed: “Am I enough?” “Will I ever be enough?” Her honesty creates a poignant reference to anybody who has discovered themselves lost in self-doubt and insecurity. But it’s now not all bleak—Reilly crafts an anthem of resilience, showcasing her journey to reclaim her self-confidence after heartbreak.

The effective manufacturing from John Pedigo at Modern Electric Sound Recorders enhances Reilly’s narrative superbly, enveloping her raspy, emotional delivery with a soundscape that propels her message forward. Each notice appears like a step taken towards the last purpose of self-attractiveness and personal empowerment. Todd Pipes’ studying of “Dirty Work” is the final contact that gives this tune its polished side, making it now not just a tune but an experience.

Whether you’re restoring from a past date or, in reality, want a reminder of your very own strength, “Dirty Work” hits its subjects. Remy Reilly’s honesty, vulnerability, and unapologetic resilience are precisely what we need to close out the 12 months—proof that even if others fail us, the work we do on ourselves is never in vain.
