Up and coming Chicago rapper, Tink, has shared the music video for her recent single, "Around The Clock," featuring The Breakfast Club host Charlamagne Tha God, which you can check out below. The DGainz-directed clip is as dark and mysterious as the Timbaland-produced track, with Tink hanging around an inner city alley at night (with Timbaland by her side, wearing sunglasses) and rapping with a confidence far beyond her 19 years.
"Tim dropped the beat in the studio and it instantly gave me a hip-hop vibe," Tink told The Fader about the song. "I wanted the video to match that same feeling. Raw and simple."

"Being in the studio with Timbaland, it makes me just want to be better," Tink said in an interview with Noisey. "His energy — I feed off of it. Some producers, when you get in the studio you just vibe. When you're in the studio with Timbaland, you really bring your A game because he puts his all into his sound, just recreating himself. And that's why I feel like I need to go even harder."
Tink's most recent mixtape, Winter's Diary 2, was released back in January. It was the Chicago rapper/singer's fourth mixtape overall, her first since 2013's Boss Up. Tink has yet to release a studio album, though from the sound of "Around The Clock," it's going to be great when she finally gets around to it.
"I think the message behind the music is worldwide," she continued in her Noisey interview. "It can be felt by anybody, any race...You've got some people who can make a good song to turn up to, but real music, it will never fade."
