With any luck, Mike Floss' forthcoming full-length Don't Blame the Youth will be his springboard to the national stage. He's done just about everything else you can do to prepare to blow up, polishing show-stopping MC skills over several years in the Music City scene — recently recounted in a Tidal mini-doc — working with local producer phenom Ducko McFli, and now starring in an ominous vid for the mixtape's first single, "Dopeboy Dreaming," which premiered at Complex.
The Daniel Henry-directed piece depicts the tipping point where Floss once found himself, deciding whether to trade the frustration and boredom suburban teenage life for the instant gratification and glamor the dealers at school showed off. Stream it after the jump.

Nashville-based artist Mike Floss has had a pretty big year so far. After releasing his "Dopeboy Dreaming" single back in April, he recently took the Tidal stage—which showcased a number of up-and-coming artists—at the 2015 Made in America Festival. The successful releases of For The Rebels and For The Rebels 2 put all eyes on the young artist and today, he debuts the video for "Dopeboy Dreaming" to build off of his recent hype.
