Video: Doodie Lo – “Purple Nightmares“
Doodie Lo Digs Deep Into His Dark Habits in the Latest Video From His Upcoming Album, What Made Me
The Video:
Wielding his raspy voice like a weapon, Kankakee, IL’s Doodie Lo examines life in the streets from all sides. Reflecting on a habit that nearly wrecked his life, the Only The Family rapper shares “Purple Nightmares,” his new video single. Over a poignant, piano-filled instrumental by Ricky Hoodrich, Doodie Lo warns of the dangers of drinking lean–including paranoia and night terrors–and dwells on the unexpected drawbacks of fame. In the video, Doodie Lo dwells in his crib with only his woman and his medicine to keep him company, as he tries to find a better way forward.
“Purple Nightmares” is Doodie Lo’s second new video of 2024, following the clip for “Role Model.” Both new singles will appear on What Made Me, the OTF vulture’s upcoming album and his first full-length since his breakout Big Doodie Lo. Released in 2021, Big Doodie Lo is home to “Me & Doodie Lo,” an energetic collab between King Von and Doodie (over 20 million YouTube views), in which the legendary O-Block native gives Mr. Kankakee an enthusiastic co-sign. Over the past few years, Doodie Lo has considerably grown his profile, racking up over 80 million streams to date, gaining hundreds of thousands of YouTube subscribers and Spotify Monthly Listeners, and collaborating with heavy hitters like Kodak Black, Moneybagg Yo, Pooh Shiesty, BIG30, and more.
Stay tuned for the upcoming What Made Me, coming Spring 2024 via OTF/EMPIRE.
