YOUNGOHM Shows Societal Turmoil In The Thai Capital In ‘Bangkok Legacy’

Thai rapper YOUNGOHM released the stirring visual for “บางกอก เลกาซี่” (Bangkok Legacy) today (October 6), the title track off his 2020 debut album. 

The Bangkok native is known as one of the most formidable voices in contemporary Thai hip hop. The thematic and visual portrayal of Bangkok in the accompanying video serves as a powerful commentary on the current political tension and the passion erupting from his fellow citizens. 

The video reenacts vivid scenes of civil unrest, with masked civilians being arrested and tear-gassed, including shots of the artist directly confronting policemen forming a riot shield and standing alongside protesters who wave signs in the air with words like “REVOLUTION” and “FREEDOM” written on them.

Arriving at a turbulent sociopolitical moment in Thailand today, “Bangkok Legacy” depicts alleged reports of police brutality and calls for police reform. The video ends with a display of solidarity from fellow Thai hip hop artists, including NGAZ and YOUNGGU.
