NYC’s Vaughn PM follows Kendrick Lamar’s example and makes a party track about substance abuse with "Don’t Fail Us / The Stories." In the video, art imitates life when what starts out as a regular party with drinking games and good times devolves into a fatal zombie encounter. After Vaugh vomits up a cavalcade of polaroids, the pace of the track and the video shifts gears and he spirals down the dark well of his past. He raps, “I know you always slippin on the details, truth be told, time slips when you gettin refills.” We’ve all been there. His art captures the feeling well.
