Atlanta’s most Halloween-obsessed rap villain, CEO Trayle, returns with the video for “Nightmares & Dreams” from his latest mixtape HH5. Produced by Go Grizz, “Nightmares & Dreams” mixes speaker-knocking ATL percussion with modal guitar melodies and ominous piano chords that would not be out of place in the soundtrack of a Universal monster movie. Trayle slithers through the instrumental with his heightened conversational flow, alternating boasts about his luxurious lifestyle with glimpses of the horror movie-esque reality that he escaped. In the video, the two rappers creep around an abandoned building, ignoring caution tape and warning all comers not to step.
