Hailing from Philadelphia, rapper Kir drops off the music video for his Sonni-produced cut “Gorillas & Apes.” A certified hustler’s number, “Gorillas & Apes” glides with vivid gritty bars and mellow melodies. Running parallel to the song’s themes about getting it out the mud, the visual takes viewers on a ride through the lens of a hustler’s glory. Decadent with private jets, slabs of cash, and dreamy women, Kir and his label crew are documenting their ride to the top. When dreams turn into reality, the ascension from those heartless and hungry nights turn into inspiration and motivation to others!
