Young Scooter's fresh off the release of Trippple Cross and it looks like that project is just the beginning of his takeover. He previously dropped off the video for "Plug Lingo" shortly after the project's release and today, he comes through with another set of visuals off the project.

Young Scooter takes a trip down memory lane for the "Drug Deals" video. The song finds Scooter reflecting on trapping to get to the position he's at in the rap game right now. However, the interesting part about the video is that it shows both sides of the coin. While the young man is making his bank off of trapping, the video also highlights the aspect of addiction. It's an honest depiction of the lifestyle and the director, Cricket, does a great job at bringing Young Scooter's song to life.
