DJ Mustard has just released the visual for his song “Ghetto Tales” off his recent release 10 Summer. The production finds Mustard minimizing the sound of Compton, reducing the city’s G-funk history to a few simple strokes of bass and synth.
Verses come from Jay 305 and Tee Cee, who wax lyrical about the trials and tribulations of life in the hood.

We start in the morning — “woke up, brush my teeth…tell me about the raid that happened down the street.”
“Ghetto Tales” is about storytelling, the way that stories and intrigue circulate through word of mouth: “This the kind of s**t that happens every day, in the hood.”
Watch the video, via Noisey, below.
Tee Cee tells the tale of “flocking” a house, a step by step guide to armed robbery. The song is reminiscent of YG’s compelling and cavalier My Krazy Life, also produced by Mustard.
The track is off Mustard’s newly released album 10 Summers.
