Selfish Ways & MAAHEZ Show Us What the "Lit Life" Looks Like



Los Angeles-based trio Selfish Ways shows us a thing or two about living the "Lit Life" in a new picturesque music video.


Comprising South Carolina brothers Prince and King Riley, the vocalists have a very impressive track record, having shared stages with Yo Gotti, T.I., Waka Flocka Flame, 50 Cent, Gucci Mane, and many other rap legends. They've also collaborated with electronic duo Riggi and Piros while continuing to make their mark on the West Coast music scene.


Now enlisting one of the architects of the current pan-Caribbean sound, producer MAAHEZ, for their new single, "Lit Life," the song itself highlights all three artists' vast creative abilities through feel-good Caribbean-inspired electronic production with a warm, melodic R&B edge that's impossible to ignore.


Taking a look at the new music video for "Lit Life," directed by Castro Tarantino, the venture begins with Prince and Riley strolling Venice Beach with their ladies and taking in the lively West Coast scene.


We love the vintage look of this music video, even though the entire experience offers this timeless take on living life to the fullest and experiencing all the wonderful things it has to offer.


As the group meets up with producer MAAHEZ for a trip to 777 Sarbonne Road in Bel-Air, they make their way over to some of the most beautiful homes in California. When the sun begins to set, the crew keeps the vibe alive with some midnight dips, bonfires, and taking in the stunning scenery around them.


Don't miss out on a glimpse of the "Lit Life" with Selfish Ways and MAAHEZ's new music video, now available to watch on YouTube.
