Rapper Problem is back and he’s kicking off 2017 with two videos in one. The Compton rhymer dropped a double visual for two singles, “Betta Watch Yo Self” and “Lightwork (featuring Tyrin “Caine” Turner). Both songs are from his upcoming mixtape, Chachiville.

Both videos are shot in a first-person style with Problem spitting bars directly to the camera. “It ain’t hard to stay motivated / ‘Cause with every win comes another goal / Buy a new Benz, save another soul / Pull up servin’ they say ‘Damn, that motherfucker cold,” he raps on “Lightwork.”

As for his mixtape, Chachiville, the concept was inspired by his hard work and dedication to the rap game.

“It was crafted while I was on my #litlifetour this summer, recorded mainly in different hotel rooms across the country,” he explained to Billboard. It serves as my break away from the nonsense that has been taking place in the world and within music.”

“13 great moments of me. Not a story, not a concept project, just 12 songs (and 1 skit) that can hold their own individually, yet still be cohesive enough to be all on one mixtape,” he adds.

Problem’s Chachiville will arrive in stores on Jan. 20 via Diamond Lane Music Group. You can pre-order it now on iTunes.
