The Simpkin Project - Politricks [Official Video]

We’re thrilled to share the official video for POLITRICKS, our latest single that tackles the complexities of today’s political landscape. The song is a commentary on the absurdity and ridiculousness of political systems here and abroad. With roots-reggae rhythms and elements of rock and soul, Politricks explores the tactics and “tricks” often at play in modern politics. The video pairs powerful imagery with the song’s message, creating a visual experience reflecting the urgency and energy behind the track. We’re excited to share this project with you and hope it resonates with you. Check it out and let us know your thoughts in the comment below.
