Vince Staples Joins Ovrkast. in New "Strange Ways" Music Video

We Got Strange Ways

"Strange Ways" Gets a Visual Upgrade with Vince Staples and Ovrkast.

Oakland's rising star, Ovrkast., has once again showcased his unique artistic vision with the release of the official music video for "Strange Ways," his standout collaboration with the ever-incisive Vince Staples. Unveiled on June 2, 2025, the visual accompaniment for the track from his acclaimed album, While The Iron Is Hot, is a masterclass in minimalist potency.

In a world of over-the-top music video theatrics, Ovrkast. and director Ethan Palmer have opted for a more intimate, black-and-white approach that perfectly captures the song's smoky, meditative atmosphere. Eschewing elaborate narratives, the video focuses on the raw, engaging performances of both artists. The stark contrast and close-up shots allow the viewer to connect with the candid and thought-provoking essence of the lyrics, making every word and expression feel immediate and impactful.

This stripped-back aesthetic is a powerful reflection of Ovrkast.'s burgeoning sound, which seamlessly blends the elegant, cool-toned sensibilities of jazz with the hard-hitting influences of modern hip-hop. "Strange Ways" is a perfect example of this duality, and the new visual companion only deepens its resonance, cementing Ovrkast.'s place as a true innovator in the contemporary music landscape. It's a reminder that sometimes, the most powerful statement is the one made with the fewest words and the sharpest focus.
