K2 Cocky – The Second P (Music Video Review)

Straightforward New York-ish video vibes inspired by Björk and Todd Rundgren complement the B-side track “THE SECOND P.”

K2 Cocky, a New York-based LGBTQ artist, once again dives into a powerhouse sound, reinforcing his narrative of being blacklisted in the industry. With a new music video for “THE SECOND P,” the artist delivers a quite interesting yet dynamic sound, extending my previous exposure to K2 Cocky.

The last time I reviewed one of his tracks, “WITHSTAND THA FIRE,” I was immersed in an eerie and bizarre soundscape hinting at a mix of industrial hip-hop and rock fusion. While the artist stays true to his core sound, he also brings something new.

So, without further ado, let’s get into the track and break down some moments from the music video.

“THE SECOND P” hits you from the start with a more hypnotic and dynamic performance compared to “WITHSTAND THA FIRE,” pushing its bizarreness to a new level.

The same chaotic, abstract energy K2 Cocky delivers on the track is reflected in the visuals, which hit you with everything at once—blending adventure and madness through rapidly shifting shots. These feelings dominate the song, merging quirkiness, curiosity, and an infectious energy all in one.

The melody K2 Cocky dictates is raw and harsh, keeping the listener engaged with every new layer of its glitchy, droney sound that lingers from the artist’s first whistle.

Truthfully, you can’t even fully pin down the track’s genre—it teeters between alternative hip-hop, shimmering loops, and experimental elements. The video mirrors this unpredictability; rather than going for a polished aesthetic, K2 Cocky leans into a glitchy, mesmerizing vibe paired with a pounding, distorted sound that feels warped yet free-flowing.

I really admire his frenetic delivery throughout the track, which he reinforces later in the music video with all its psychedelia and noise. From scenes that seem straight out of an American block to the graveyard gives the track this raw and unpolished feel.

Score/Good: To sum it all up, K2 Cocky’s “THE SECOND P” is crazy, and off-kilter, yet the straightforward energy he brings to the track is both memorable and fluid, emphasizing eerie intensity. This track is a strong addition to the original SOCIAL STUDIES, reinforcing his signature sound but in a bigger, more unhinged context.
