Synopsis
Sway and Kano deliver their verses in a fast-cut, performance-led video that matches the song's themes of momentum, ambition, and returning to the spotlight. The rappers appear in a series of stylized urban settings, with a classic BMW adding a street-level, automotive edge to the visuals. Quick edits, bold lighting, and energetic camerawork keep the video moving at full speed, while magician Dynamo makes a brief cameo that echoes Sway's lyrical reference to disappearing acts.
Factoids & Trivia
- The video was released online in 2011 to promote the Kano version of "Still Speedin'," a remix of Sway's original track. A separate version featuring Lupe Fiasco was also issued.
- Magician Dynamo appears in a cameo. His presence connects directly with Sway's line about blowing up like Dynamo and having no more disappearing acts.
- A 1990 BMW 320i E30 is prominently featured in the video. The car was identified from a frame of the production and serves as one of the clearest visual links to the song's speed and driving imagery.
- The production was handled by Davey Inc., with Courtney Edwards producing. Ben Todd served as director of photography, while Chris Tirrell edited the finished video.
- Color work was completed at The Mill by Luke Morrisson, giving the video its polished, high-contrast finish.
- "Still Speedin'" was Sway's comeback single after a period without an official release. The song later reached No. 19 on the UK Singles Chart, helping re-establish him as a prominent British rapper.
- The track incorporates material from Black Box's "Ride on Time," itself built around Loleatta Holloway's "Love Sensation." This gives the video a club-oriented foundation beneath its hip-hop performance style.
