"There He Go" is a song by American rapper Kodak Black. It was released as a music video in December 2016 and was later released as the lead single from his debut studio album Painting Pictures (2017). Produced by Dubba-AA, it is the first song Kodak released after his release from jail in December 2016.

Background

[edit]

On December 1, 2016, Kodak Black, who had been facing charges of rape and assault, was released from custody after posting a $100,000 bond. Because Kodak remained on house arrest, producer Dubba-AA brought his studio equipment to Kodak's house. They worked on music during the weekend after Kodak's release.[2][3] The first song Kodak Black released since then was "There He Go",[4] which was considered to be a song celebrating his freedom.[4][5] It sees him rapping about his "street cred, flashy lifestyle, and love for women".[6]

Music video

[edit]

The music video was released on December 6, 2016. It was directed by YungMik3 of 20K Visuals and shot in Kodak Black's house.[6] In it, Kodak reunites with his "clique"[7] and shows his wealth through wearing a lot of jewelry, including golden grills.[6][8]
