Khemist: It's paradise and purgatory in the new 'Mexico' music video
Heaven and hell. Paradise and purgatory. It’s all a matter of painting vivid images through both spoken word and visual messaging coming courtesy of hip-hop artist Khemist’s new ‘Mexico’ music video.
Heaven and hell. Paradise and purgatory. It’s all a matter of painting vivid images through both spoken word and visual messaging coming courtesy of hip-hop artist Khemist’s new ‘Mexico’ music video.
The standout tune from his recently released A List of Demands by Khemist Mayfield gets the cinematic treatment. Kick back and embrace the imagery.
Philadelphia’s own Khemist juxtaposes paradise and purgatory with his newest video for “Mexico.” The song focuses on the usage of heroin and overdose with shots of Kensington Beach in Philly and a paradisal beach in Mexico.
His lyrics give listeners the image of using drugs and the escapism the high brings to the users. The characters in the video are a woman at the beachside enjoying the sea and a woman dancing out in the streets with a less jovial expression compared to her beach counterpart.
The video opens with three different quotes about the drug trades on the corners of Kensington. Like the opening scene, the video closes out with another quote but from Styles P. “Just drove through some part of Philly and it scared me and depressed me at the same time. It was mad zombie looking people every few feet! They all looked sorta the same. Shit saddened me. Had to hit my man. He said that’s the badlands. All I can say was YEAH!,” exclaims P.
“Mexico” is a single from his latest album, A List Of Demands. The visual was also directed by Khemist.

There’s everything from seeing the spa where he received a massage to seeing - briefly - a moment where he’s soaking in the vibes from Mexico courtesy of a bathtub.
