The duo however return with the striking visuals for “Forward,” an emotionally gripping and soulful cut off the aforementioned project. The reflective song sees Gonz aiming to keep his head above water and rid of the inner demons raging his thoughts. He deals with Naysayers, self doubt and alcohol dependency. This is quite a handful but Gonz is fully determined to scale through the hurdles by all means.

The visuals place the emotional weight of “Forward” to brilliant use by utilizing fetching grayscale effects in addition to slick editing techniques. Nearly every element of Gonz’s rhymes is featured here, whether it’s the bottle he can’t seem to put down, or the family that means so much to him. Speaking of, this video is dedicated to the memory of the emcee’s late father, Luis A. Gonzalez Sr., who’s honored in the closing credits.
