Durham native Alex Aff first caught our attention in 2015 with Forever, a full-length project grounded in hip-hop’s classic, boom-bap aesthetic.
After kicking off the new year with a supremely raw cut in “The Regency” that he describes as “a gritty joint over a jazz sample,” Aff has returned to Forever with black-and-white visuals for the standout track, “Understand.” Featuring nothing more than Aff wandering the streets and spitting bars, its minimalistic nature allows his charisma to take center stage.
Follow the jump to peep the video, and for those who have managed to sleep on it, download Forever here.
