Today we finally get Bibby’s video for “Water,” which is undoubtedly one of the best records from his debut mixtape, Free Crack. Sure Bibby was super popping in Chicago, but I truly believe this was the record that broke him to the masses.
Look for our interview with Bibby coming next week, but in the mean time, Complex caught up with him to get some words on the video and what he’s been up to:
What were you trying to get across with that record?
I was just expressing a couple feelings, man. I really liked the beat from Black Metaphor. I think he’s one of like the top 10 producers right now. One of my homies in Atlanta, he mess with Black Metaphor tough, so we was just in the studio and he was pulling up beats and then he just picked it. I freestyled the first half of the hook like, “I gotta keep my head above water,” and then the second half I just put together. I just type the verses on my phone. Well, if I got the hook already done, the verse won’t take me nothing but like 20 minutes. If that. In total the song probably took an hour. I think that same day I recorded “Water” and “Whole Crew” and “See Me Down” or something, off my mixtape.
