The Video:

Perched above a basketball hoop and dancing with his whole crew, Taylor Gang’s Chevy Woods celebrates the weekend in the video for “History,” premiered today by REVOLT. As the video shifts from a basketball court to the club, Chevy and featured artist Devin Cruise flex with fine ladies as they shoot down their haters over arpeggiating 8-bit synths. The first single from the upcoming Taylor’d,XXL premiered the audio for “History” in July, praising the track as “the type of celebratory anthem perfect for a weekend spent with friends.” Chevy spent the summer performing on select dates of the 36-date High Road Tour, where “History” has emerged as a roof-raising crowd favorite, alongside headliners Snoop Dogg and Wiz Khalifa, as well as Kevin Gates, Jhene Aiko, Casey Veggies, and DJ Drama. Earlier this week, Chevy Woods released Taylor’d single “Bank of America,” a club-ready collaboration with buzzing Atlanta rapper Rich The Kid, who previously collaborated with Chevy on April’s “Wit My Dogs.”

Taylor’d will follow February’s And the Story Goes…, a 4-part video EP that finds Pittsburgh rapper reflecting on his adolescence and contemplating career paths. Featuring Styles P and Dave East and directed by Wiley Films, the video EP released as a free download via Taylor Gang Ent. Last week, Chevy hopped on “Gang Gang,” a TGOD anthem with Casey Veggies and Wiz Khalifa. Earlier, Chevy celebrated success on his “All the Way Up” freestyle, in which he co-opted the New York anthem to lay down bars about jetsetting and living the life, and “Forever,” released on his birthday. In addition to “Forever,” And the Story Goes…, and his collection of freestyles titled The Freemix, he released “6 Months Later,” a hypnotic loose single released on his SoundCloud. Arriving in stores this fall, Taylor’d will follow up last year’s The 48 Hunnid Project, where Woods teamed up with DeJ Loaf, Post Malone, OG Maco, and Rico Love. Beyond music, Woods has recently been in the spotlight for his culinary skills, which have been featured by Edible Ink and First We Feast.
