The visuals for "Nothin New," which features footage from a Black Lives Matter protest, shows 21 wearing all black clothing and rapping about issues facing the Black community while holding an umbrella at what looks to be a funeral. The video is interspersed with scenes of a young kid who, forced by their circumstance, robs a corner store for food. After the robbery takes place a police officer arrives and guns the kid down.

Th music video for "Nothin New" was shot by iNightLyfe in association with FoolWithTheCamera.
