The clip was directed by Imad Elsheikh and choreographed by Caden McKinnon and Chantelle Mostacho. It was filmed around Toronto, and examines the city's "evolution of metropolitan life" — including the contentious process of gentrification.
"'High Rise' was inspired by my experience looking for a place to live when I first moved to Toronto," the rapper said in a statement. "It made me imagine a demonic real estate agent chanting at me to give up the search for a house, to move into a condo. I think many people are dealing with rampant gentrification and the erosion of community today, so I decided to write a protest song about it."
