The YBNL artiste has released the visuals to one of the tracks on his debut album, Gold.

Adekunle Gold’s musical identity is Yoruba-centric and he flaunts it without reservations in this new video, as he adorns the full Yoruba traditional regalia and makes use of talking drums and a lot of other elements that define the Yoruba tradition.

The beautiful part is how he infuses an urban culture into the video by riding in a luxury, convertible car.

My Life was produced by Seyikeys and this video was shot by AJE Filmworks in Ikeja, Lagos.
