“First Love” is an ode to falling in love with Hip-Hop as well as your first love.

Both Chicago natives J-Oats and Kaye Fox join for a dope track that's written as if Hip-Hop were a woman. J-Oats reflects on his childhood and how the music made him feel, once he began writing. For those unfamiliar with Kaye Fox, she’s part of No ID’s production team and is an accredited vocalist on songs with Ye, Common, J. Cole, Rick Ross, Big Sean, Nas and more.

The video was directed by J-Oats with IAMMRLUCUS on cinematography.
