OC movie director and rapper Curley The 5th drops black-and-white video for "More Life"

About a minute of the black-and-white music video for Curley The 5th's "More Life." It opens on an overhead night shot of a highway, then cuts between Curley, in a durag and chain, rapping to the camera in a dark space lined with small lights, a second man in a durag behind him, and a dancer in front of a wall of round white lights. The audio is the song itself; Juice Unlocked's orange headline banner covers the lower part of the frame.

Juice Unlocked shared a cinematic music video for "More Life," a new song from Curley The 5th, on May 26, 2025.

The post billed him as an Orange County movie director and rapper. He goes by @curleythe5th on Instagram.

The visual

The clip is shot entirely in black and white. It opens on a nighttime overhead shot of a highway, with headlight trails running through the frame.

From there it cuts between Curley, in a durag, gold chain and dark sweatshirt, rapping straight into the camera in a dim space lined with small lights, and a dancer moving in front of a wall of glowing round lights. A second man in a durag appears behind Curley in several shots.

More often?

The caption put the question to fans: should Curley drop music more often? The post had drawn 111 likes and 29 comments when it was archived.
