Rat Race
Music Video, Rap
Runners start and stumble through the race, all scrambling for the finish line. A field for wide and a playground, with a biker gang sitting past the artist, dressed in leather and all black. The Artist, "Abdul Fall" on a diving board while swimmers race behind. Corporate workers sprint to an unknown finish line. That's the reality for an immigrant, a dreamer, and a hustler carving their own path. The song captures the tension between staying within society’s “rat race” and choosing independence, self-growth, and authenticity. Abdul’s lyrics become universal: a reminder that greatness comes when you choose your own pace, your own journey, and your own dreams.
