Dro Carey's New Video "Monomiles" Has All the Swagger You Need Today

MCs Chocolate and Kid Kai, from Sierra Leone and Nigeria, lend their vocals to this grime-leaning club cut on Greco-Roman.

When Dro Carey dropped his Club Injury Handbook EP on Greco-Roman back in October, I fell hard for the Australian producer's outsider take on club music. The whacked-out cuts pushed the sonic boundaries of the dancefloor, while feeling tough, robust, and grainy like a good club track should-sort of like if Bok Bok made the soundtrack for The Terminator, or Ikonika decided to take a bath in sand. I was doubly impressed when I read about Carey's wrenchingly honest essay about his struggles with anxiety and depression.

"Monomiles" is the second single off Club Injury Handbook, and it's a grime-leaning standout thanks to the vocals by Chocolate and Kid Kai-two MCs from Sydney's Lion Mountain Studios who hail from Sierra Leone and Nigeria respectively. The video, directed by AidanMakesVideo, follows a demented street game played with a little grinning ball from hell. But more importantly, it gives Chocolate and Kid Kai plenty of space to showcase their abundant swagger. In music videos as in life, you can never have too much 'tude.
