In their latest visual It’s All Good, Slaine and Statik Selektah prove that hip-hop doesn’t just age—it evolves. Taken from their collaborative album A New State of Grace, the video serves as a poignant sequel to their work from over a decade ago, trading the reckless energy of the past for a grounded, gritty serenity.
Visually, the video keeps it authentic and intimate, centering on Slaine in his element. It’s an effective approach that forces the viewer to focus on the lyricism. The track itself is a masterclass in accountability; over Statik’s signature soulful, scratch-laden production, Slaine offers an open letter of apology and gratitude to those he may have hurt during his chaotic rise to the top.
It’s rare to hear an emcee drop the ego so completely. Instead of bracing for a fight, Slaine embraces his scars, celebrating survival and sobriety with a flow that is as sharp as it is reflective. It’s All Good isn’t just a song; it’s a victory lap for anyone who has stared down their demons and lived to tell the tale.
“I loved you for believing in me even when I went and gave you every reason to flee… I’m sorry I hurt you with repeat / But I had no virtue and needing to eat / So we went our own ways and I paid a price.”
