Moslikely’s December music video release, “PREZI,” highlights his confidence and growing success as an artist. Yet while this confidence radiates from the screen and many of the lyrics focus on material riches, he also maintains a down-to-earth feel: “Everybody knows I mean what I say, I ain’t gotta remind ‘em.” Even with the prospect of wealth and fame, Moslikely implies that he has stayed true to himself throughout the process. In this way, he simultaneously acknowledges his past and gestures towards the future. In the opening shot of the music video, as the song title undulates across the screen, he stands with his back to the camera and stares at a bulletin board littered with clippings. In the center is a map, with strings webbed outwards connecting to photos and newspaper clippings. This murder-mystery-style shot is attention-grabbing, but the map also seems to represent the artist’s origins. While he is rooted in New York, the outward-spreading strings on the map may symbolize any number of paths for his future.

While the middle scenes of the music video again place an emphasis on possessions and status symbols, from flashes of a diamond-studded bracelet to the image of Moslikely donning himself with thick silver chains, the video’s last few shots express take on a new level of depth. We see the artist adjusting his hat in the mirror before turning to leave as if preparing himself for the journey ahead. And no matter what that future holds, there’s a sense of certainty in his eyes—big things are on the horizon.
