Lil Nas X Turns Out The Pink Jumpsuit (Or Not) In ‘Industry Baby’

Lil Nas X serves up more of his artistic, uncensored self as he drops his latest music video, “Industry Baby.” Set in the fictional “Montero State Prison,” Lil Nas X presents a gay jailhouse fantasy of pink jumpsuits, shower room twerking, and prison yard workouts. Out Arrow star Colton Haynes drops in a cameo as a prison guard grooving on Lil Nas X’s previous video, “Montero (Call Me By Your Name).” Nas has no time for Haynes though because he’s got an escape on his mind. By the way, Nas gave folks a hint days ago that the video would not be G-rated. While hip-hop and rap aren’t my usual music genres, I totally appreciate the art, the vision, and the expression.  The provocative video is just the latest in a string of home runs for the Grammy Award winner proving he’s totally not a ‘one-hit-wonder.’ The video also serves as a fundraiser for The Bail Project, a “national nonprofit organization on a mission to end cash bail, one of the key drivers of mass incarceration and structural racism in the U.S. criminal legal system.”
