Bay Swag & Meek Mill: It’s demon time flexing in the ‘Seventeen’ music video
It’s clear rap crooner Bay Swag keeps delivering anthems for The Culture. So how about seeing him pairing up with Meek Mill for their ‘Seventeen’ single and music video? Extra tough.
Pure confidence and late night showing out for the New York hip-hop artist. Completely tap in.
Bay Swag unleashes his latest single “Seventeen” featuring Meek Mill—a hard-hitting, high-energy collaboration that blends street grit with raw emotion. Together, the two artists make a formidable duo, each bringing their weight as influential voices in the drill scene. Widely recognized as a defining force in New York’s sexy drill movement, Bay Swag infuses “Seventeen” with his melodic edge and signature flair, while Meek Mill delivers his trademark intensity and sharp lyricism. The single follows the success of Bay Swag’s recent track “Billie Jean” featuring Sheff G, which premiered with a live performance on the viral From The Block video series and spotlighted on Billboard’s Fresh Picks Hip-Hop/R&B Spotify playlist, marking another step forward in his rapidly rising career.
Bridging the raw energy of New York’s drill scene with Philadelphia’s unfiltered edge, this collaboration brings together two distinct cultural forces. Directed by acclaimed videographer Lavish V—known for her work with Toosii, 21 Savage, and Lil Baby—the video captures the essence of both cities: bold, charged, and unapologetically real. The artists are shown in their element, surrounded by their crews, flashing signature jewelry, and dressed in striking orange as a symbol of power, unity, and defiance.
Set against raw urban backdrops, the visual amplifies the track’s intensity with sharp cinematography and fast-paced cuts. Rather than leaning on flash, it leans into truth—every shot grounded in the environment and ethos that shaped them. This isn’t just a music video; it’s a moment of shared identity, elevating drill while staying loyal to its roots. A bold, uncompromising statement of intent from two artists pushing culture forward.
The single delivers a powerful fusion of sharp lyricism and polished intensity, driven by relentless flows, standout verses, and an energy that commands attention from start to finish, “Seventeen” is primed to resonate from the streets to the stage—cementing the collaboration as a moment of true alignment between two forces in the genre.
“Working with Meek brought a whole new energy,” stated Bay Swag. “And man that’s what Seventeen’s about, goin crazy. With every drop we keep goin crazy.”
The duo first performed "Seventeen" live in New York last month, building major anticipation for its official release. The track arrives hot on the heels of his surprise set at Rema’s “Heis” Tour stop at Madison Square Garden last week, where he electrified the crowd with his breakout hit “FISHERRR” and "Trippin on a Yacht" earlier this month. With over 106 million streams and counting, “FISHERRR,” his infectious collaboration with Cash Cobain, firmly established him as a rising star. Now, “Seventeen” cements Bay Swag’s place as one of New York’s most exciting and dynamic new voices.
