The aesthetic of the music video is the perfect match for the tropical beat of the song, and we see King Riley and his lady love walking through a gorgeous garden. The artist connects his two worlds, by switching between English and Nigerian Pidgin; at first the two would seem vastly different, but in his hands and by way of the power of his music he&#8217;s shown that it has something for everyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can check out King Riley&#8217;s video for &#8216;Substance&#8217; below and find out more about the man himself online on <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/Kingrileyrn\" target=\"_blank\">Twitter<\/a>, and <a href=\"http:\/\/instagram.comkingrileyrn\/\">Instagram<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"epyt-video-wrapper\"><div  style=\"display: block; margin: 0px auto;\"  id=\"_ytid_93623\"  width=\"640\" height=\"360\"  data-origwidth=\"640\" data-origheight=\"360\"  data-relstop=\"1\" data-facadesrc=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/DFtHuzTdhf0?enablejsapi=1&#038;origin=https:\/\/essentiallypop.com&#038;autoplay=0&#038;cc_load_policy=0&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;loop=0&#038;fs=1&#038;playsinline=1&#038;controls=1&#038;disablekb=0&#038;color=red&#038;cc_lang_pref=&#038;rel=0&#038;autohide=2&#038;theme=dark&#038;\" class=\"__youtube_prefs__ epyt-facade no-lazyload\" data-epautoplay=\"1\" ><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" data-spai-excluded=\"true\" class=\"epyt-facade-poster skip-lazy\" loading=\"lazy\"  alt=\"King Riley - Substance [MUSIC VIDEO]\"  src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/DFtHuzTdhf0\/maxresdefault.jpg?w=640&#038;ssl=1\"  \/><button class=\"epyt-facade-play\" aria-label=\"Play\"><svg data-no-lazy=\"1\" height=\"100%\" version=\"1.1\" viewBox=\"0 0 68 48\" width=\"100%\"><path class=\"ytp-large-play-button-bg\" d=\"M66.52,7.74c-0.78-2.93-2.49-5.41-5.42-6.19C55.79,.13,34,0,34,0S12.21,.13,6.9,1.55 C3.97,2.33,2.27,4.81,1.48,7.74C0.06,13.05,0,24,0,24s0.06,10.95,1.48,16.26c0.78,2.93,2.49,5.41,5.42,6.19 C12.21,47.87,34,48,34,48s21.79-0.13,27.1-1.55c2.93-0.78,4.64-3.26,5.42-6.19C67.94,34.95,68,24,68,24S67.94,13.05,66.52,7.74z\" fill=\"#f00\"><\/path><path d=\"M 45,24 27,14 27,34\" fill=\"#fff\"><\/path><\/svg><\/button><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>King Riley is making big waves in the music industry, and his latest release, &#8216;Substance&#8217; brings an uncommon culture and richness to the mainstream.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":74644,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"advanced_seo_description":"King Riley is making big waves in the music industry, and his latest release, 'Substance' brings an uncommon culture and richness to the mainstream.\n","jetpack_seo_html_title":"","jetpack_seo_noindex":false,"jetpack_seo_schema_type":"","_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[7,9,21453,21445,21446,21449,640],"tags":[28942,11720,77,370,1945,116,10677,28943,81,22992],"class_list":["post-74661","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-music","category-new-releases","category-new-singles","category-reviews","category-single-reviews","category-video-reviews","category-videos","tag-king-riley","tag-lisa-hafey","tag-new-release","tag-new-single","tag-new-video","tag-review","tag-single-review","tag-substance","tag-video","tag-video-review"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p5yMhl-jqd","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":74677,"url":"https:\/\/essentiallypop.com\/epop\/2022\/04\/king-riley-doesnt-need-to-do-anything-for-clout-but-thats-the-name-of-his-new-single\/","url_meta":{"origin":74661,"position":0},"title":"King Riley Doesn&#8217;t Need To Do Anything For &#8216;Clout&#8217; But That&#8217;s The Name Of His New Single","author":"Lisa Hafey","date":"06\/04\/2022","format":false,"excerpt":"If there's anything King Riley doesn't have to do, it's chase clout.
