Eearz is still dropping videos for tracks from his debut project, Eearz to da Streets Vol. 1, released in October 2015. The songs are still sounding fresh, though -- a sign that the world is still catching up to his unique artistry. And he pours inspiration into his videos. The new "If You Knew Better" visual is a powerful and challenging piece of self-reflection from the underrated Ear Drummers artist. 

In between footage of Eearz returning home and embracing his family members, he lies on a heap of old family photos, singing about the years he took his life for granted while in the trap. The hook -- "if you knew better, you would do better" -- is strangely haunting. Eearz admits to himself that he does, in fact, know better -- and he challenges the viewer to do the same. 

Eearz followed up his debut with Eearz to da Streets Vol. 2 in October. Both volumes can be streamed here
