"Bad Man" was one of the tracks on Alex G's latest album, House of Sugar, released in 2019.
The track was originally sung in a fake Southern accent, which Alex G does not have or usually sing in. But for this video it was re-recorded without the accent, different instrumentation. The new "Bad Man" recording was made in Headroom Studios in the Kensington neighborhood of Philly.
The video features a possible Philly-shoutout, as it centers on a montage of a boxer (not Alex G himself) training for a fight.
In other new content Alex G has ramped up the Philly references as well. The name of the album "House of Sugar," is a reference to Sugarhouse Casino (known as Rivers Casino since 2006) in Fishtown, the musician has said.
In addition to the album, Alex G also announced more tour dates for House of Sugar which are listed below. Sadly, he will not be stopping in Philly on this leg of the tour.
