Exclusive: 24kGoldn and Lil Tecca Share BTS for ‘Prada’ Music Video
24kGoldn and Lil Tecca take a high-end approach to the traditional teenage mall hang-out in their music video for “Prada.” Dressed exclusively in Prada, the two rising stars rap about getting “guala”, being ballers and spending it all at the mall. To create contrast against the song’s lyrics, the music video presents 24KGoldn and Lil Tecca in a surprisingly nerdy Prada outfit as they run through the shopping mall.
