Latest single, &#8216;Classy&#8217;, from &#8216;S.Y.S.D 2&#8217;, sees him pay homage to the beautiful, classy woman, the very essence of &#8220;eye candy&#8221;. He channels the classic West Coast sound and atmosphere, as he not only admires the classy ladies, but he embodies it himself. Deeply rooted in the track is the message about chasing dreams the right way, with nose to the grindstone, working hard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The music video for &#8216;Classy&#8217; sees A-Wax 1 Million collaborating with videographer Lucas at Cascade Media, the first in a new chapter which sees A-Wax 1 Million fully embrace his artistry, with striking visual pairings to his tracks. The clip for &#8216;Classy&#8217; is a celebration of elegance, with the lyrics flashing across the screen, A-Wax 1 Million&#8217;s vocals are silky smooth, and he rises to the occasion, as his muses, the classy women, keep him hustling. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Get &#8216;Classy&#8217;
