Snowd4y Drops Animated Video For Drake-Assisted “Wah Gwan Delilah”

The popular Snowd4y track “Wah Gwan Delilah” featuring Drake is more than just parody — it’s a hypnotic plunge into the heart of Toronto’s streets, brought to life in stunning animated form by VSOP Films. Produced by Sean O’Keefe and Ariel Rechtshaid, this playful animated visual aligns with the track’s humorous and catchy lyrics, offering an entertaining and lighthearted visual experience.

The song—a parody of “Hey There Delilah” by Plain White T’s—is a love letter to the city, but not the postcard-perfect Toronto you’d expect. It’s a raw and personal portrayal of navigating relationships, late-night missions, and flexing in the urban jungle. The track kicks off with Snowd4y’s raspy vocals calling out to Delilah, pairing vivid imagery of Toronto’s Dundas Square with the casual flex of Amiri jeans and the always-present Presto card struggles.

Drake swoops in with his laid-back delivery, referencing everything from bare traffic to Scarborough Bluffs, all while maintaining that signature OVO aura. His verse is effortlessly smooth, weaving into the song’s vibrant fabric like a city landmark.

The animated video takes it further, featuring a ton of cameos and iconic Toronto landmarks. OVO members Chubbs, Smiley, and Hush make appearances, along with streamer Kai Cenat. Ristorante Sotto Sotto, a Drake favourite, is highlighted, as well as his own lavish mansion. Major Toronto spots like Yorkdale Mall, Dundas Square, and even a TTC bus are scattered throughout the visual journey, adding layers of authenticity to the nod to the city.

“Wah Gwan Delilah” is more than just a parody — it’s a deep dive into the psyche of a city and its players. Snowd4y and Drake take you on a ride through Toronto’s underbelly, and VSOP Films’ animated vision makes sure you feel every twist and turn.
