Last week, Jhene Aiko dropped her smooth, yet futuristic music video for "Sativa" featuring hip hop duo Rae Sremmurd and needless to say, the visual is dope. Now, iHeartRadio has some behind-the-scenes photos from the video shoot!
As many fans of Aiko's already know, "Sativa" is a cut off of her latest Trip project. Since we know what the title is, then we can all take a wild guess about what the track is actually about. From the beginning to the end, Aiko sings about her favorite pastime and all of the effects that intaking that good sativa always has on her body. Swae Lee adds touches of much-appreciated vibes to the song with his voice, as well.
"Is it hot in here or is it just me?/ I'm so high in here, been smokin' on this weed," Aiko sings in the first verse. "Told 'em, 'Go on, take a shot on three'/ Told 'em, 'Drinks is on me'/ Yeah, the drinks are on meI said now go and take a shot on me/ Only drug a b**ch is on is the tree/ But I lasted ten rounds like a freak/Like a G."
Lee sings on the chorus: "Why you make it so complicated?/ Off the drink, we concentratin'/ I know you won't leave me hangin'/ Smokin' weed out the container/ We spend cash for entertainment/ There's more where that came from, that's all I'm sayin'/ It's me and you and we makin' arrangements/ It's you and me and we makin' arrangements."
The video has also has a fun surprise! In the original "Sativa" track on Trip, Lee was the only Rae Sremmurd member on it. But, Slim Jxmmi is rapping in the song's new video! "I’m on them indicas, I can’t even lie, I’m feelin' ‘em," Jxmmi spits. "She ain’t into them guys who do it miniatureI didn’t mean to keep on waiting/ I hope I meet your expectations."
