AceShowbiz - After teasing fans for days on social media, French Montana finally released a music video for his single "Unforgettable" featuring Swae Lee of Rae Sremmurd. The nearly-five minute clip finds Montana and Lee in Kampala, Uganda. The exceptional video explores the dancing skills of Kampala youths. Both rappers also show off their body moves as they spit the verses of "Unforgettable".
Montana wears cultural clothing which seems from Morocco in the music video. He, together with Swae Lee, explore the African land and dance with the most talented youngsters there. "It's not good enough for me, since I been with you/ It's not gonna work for you, nobody can equal me/ I'm gonna sip on this drink, when I'm f**ked up/ I should know how to pick up/ I'm gonna catch the rhythm while she push up against me," Swae Lee raps on the chorus of "Unforgettable".
Prior to this, the Bronx spitter took to Instagram to reveal the artwork of "Unforgettable". The cover art shows a man and a woman at their wedding who turn out to be Montana's parents. Along with the artwork, he shared his life story in the caption. "The picture of my mother and father at their wedding in Africa is my favorite picture. It's unforgettable for so many reasons since it was the same year I was born and the same year my father was incarcerated for unfortunate circumstances," Montana wrote.
"He named me from jail. After he was released, we were granted US visas and in 1996 I went on my first plane to go to America. I didn't know any English. It was tough because I thought we were moving into the high rises of NYC, but we ended up in the back streets of the Sounth Bronx lol, it was still better than back home in Morocco, but my father had a hard time and wanted to move back. My mother knew we couldn't because there weren't any opportunities there and she sacrificed a lot for us to survive in the states," he added.
Montana claimed that "Unforgettable" is dedicated to those who struggle in their lives. Continuing, he wrote, "We were on welfare and she worked overtime to keep us fed, clothed and a roof over our heads. I promised my mother that I would hustle and make my accomplishments unforgettable once I found my opportunity. I want other people who might be struggling to know that the sky is not the limit... You can do unforgettable things, so I present to you my single 'Unforgettable'. Feat @swaelee."
