Mozzy: The pain and honesty comes through crystal clear in the 'If I Die Right Now' music video

Songs are great but when you can feel and see the emotion someone like Mozzy puts into a song like ‘If I Die Right Now’ through a visual? Super tough. The hip-hop artist comes through touching souls with his much-needed music video.

No turn-ups, just pure honesty and realness from start to finish with what Mozzy serves up right here. It’s all eyes on the hip-hop heavyweight and what’s brewing in his think tank.

Over a soulful instrumental by KAVI, the Northern California native reflects on his come-up–starting from his early days rapping as Lil Tim–and all the hardships he endured, from family and friends passing away ("Granny died on the same couch I use to sleep on") to his struggle with substances ("Overdosin’ ain’t that far off it’s relatable").

Despite all the tribulations and trust issues, Mozzy finds solace in his craft and in the love of his fans: "If I die right now is any the n****s I called bruddas gon’ miss me the way the fans would." In the video, Mozzy spotlights the citizens of his Oak Park, Sacramento community, who have dealt with similar travails as the star rapper and are still standing.

"If I Die Right Now" leads fans into the next era of Mozzy, as he's hard at work on the follow up album to his CMG / Insterscope debut, Survivor's Guilt.
