A week removed from his new album, Anywhere But Here, Brooklyn MC Nyck Caution is back with a video for one of the more succinct hip-hop bangers from the album, “Coat Check/Session 47.” Reflective and deeply personal, “Coat Check” is a lyrical showcase for the young rapper, shifting from confident in the initial section to uncertain in the “Session 47” section in the second half. The song dwells on life’s cruel brevity, as the 26-year-old rapper pours one out for his fellow Brooklynite Pop Smoke and struggles to overcome his self doubt.

Shot in crisp black-and-white, the Fakedell-directed video for “Coat Check” starts in celebratory mode, as Nyck celebrates his success with some homies, including Pro Era’s Dessy Hinds and other notable figures like Kid Super, Dyemond Lewis, Ken Cash, and Aaron Rose. As the song transitions from “Coat Check” to “Session 47,” the focus shifts squarely onto Nyck, as he sits on a therapist’s couch and bares his soul.
