Read: Interview: Boity Takes Her Jump Shot
The music video showcases Boity's return, who left as a young girl with colossal dreams to make it in Johannesburg. Clad in a Thebe Magugu jersey dress, the rapper stands out in every scene — especially where she is perched on a wall that South Africans colloquially refer to as a 'stop-nonsense'. Maglera Doe Boy comes in with sly confidence and gives the audience a glimpse of why they call him the abstract vernacular township poet. Ginger Trill joins at the tail end of the music video to give Boity his blessings, a fitting anointing as he was Potch's first-ever rapper to make a name for himself on South Africa's mainstream hip-hop scene. The music video is interspersed with raw footage of unknown parts of Potchefstroom and fans excitedly mingling with the star rapper.
The "018's Finest" music video was shot and directed by Nigel Veggies and captures the pride Potch natives have for their own and marking Boity as their queen. It is, also, an overall celebration of Boity's much-awaited homecoming.
Boity's rap career began in 2018 when she featured on Nasty C's single "Wuz Dat", and startled many who had confined her to just being another actress and media personality. She has since maintained her trajectory in the music business and is adding much-needed female representation in South Africa's hip-hop arena.
