98Priest - Foot In The A (Video)

There comes a point in every artist’s journey where growth requires distance from familiarity, and for 98Priest, that moment arrives vividly on his latest release, “Foot In The A.” The record feels like more than just another drop in his catalog; it plays like a personal checkpoint.

On the release, 98Priest touches on the feeling of moving away from the city to focus on a new chapter in Atlanta with family, as well as his search for direction and clarity in his next chapter. The title itself carries weight in multiple ways. On one side, it symbolizes his physical move and connection to the A, planting himself into a city for his rebuilding. On the other hand, it feels like a reminder to peers and listeners alike that he’s still active, still motivated, and very much back in motion. That interpretation may not be the exact intention behind the title, but the beauty of art is allowing listeners to connect their own perspective to the music.

There’s a hunger throughout the record that can’t be fabricated. Every bar sounds driven by somebody determined to reclaim space and remind people why their presence mattered to begin with.

The visual direction from Sage elevates the record even further. The video captures the ambition and restless energy behind the move, bringing Priest’s mindset to life with sharp scenes and a gritty atmosphere that complements the song's emotion perfectly.

“Foot In The A” is his proper goodbye to the city, but it's not that it’s over for him. Closer to his family is necessary, and it might be a new ground for him to explore. He’s carving out his next chapter, and we wish him nothing but the best in his endeavor, and let it be known that the support will follow him wherever he goes.
