His new single, &#8216;Good Friday&#8217;, comes with a video that&#8217;s as thoughtful as it is funny, and it sees him step into the shoes of many others as he plays the role of the star splashing the cash; the chauffeur who has to put up with the demands of the star; the long-suffering butler who carries the star&#8217;s sneakers to him on a silver platter; and the security guard who has to deal with all the partying and its consequences.<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Half spoken, half sung, &#8216;Good Friday&#8217; runs the gamut of musical styles with trap drums establishing the beat, and scratching and other hip hop sound effects paying homage to that genre&#8217;s history. GoodLook delivers his rhymes without being overly aggressive, and is clever with it, without allowing the humour to dominate. Sonically and visually we&#8217;re reminded of Snoop Dogg, and the track is bound to appeal to Snoop&#8217;s fans.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">GoodLook shows in the clip for &#8216;Good Friday&#8217; that he&#8217;s a fine actor, one who is just as comfortable playing the ladies&#8217; man counting out all his dough as he is in the guise of hard-pressed employee. Directed by DreamVision, the video alternates between wide-screen shots and smaller frames, giving a metaphorical contrast between old and new.\u00a0 The true star of the music video however is Cincinnati herself, as her streets and buildings shine.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">You can watch the video for &#8216;Good Friday&#8217; below.
