ZERO 9:36, known for blending lyrical hip-hop with metalcore and emo influences, has released a minimalist music video for “Leave It All Behind,” the fifth single from his EP They Were Always Here. Directed by Errick Easterday, the video encapsulates themes of vulnerability and escape, culminating in the impactful lyric, “I watched the world turn cold before my eyes / I’ll be lucky if I make it out alive.” The EP features other singles like “System” and “Withdrawals” and showcases collaborations with artists like Ekoh and No Love For the Middle Child.
