As its name suggests, “1990” takes you back in time, most noticeably through its homage to the 2005 song “Feel Good Inc.” by Gorillaz. Released on June 10, 2025, “1990” references the 2005 track as early as the opening, where Dags offers his own rendition of De La Soul rapper Vincent Mason’s iconic laugh featured in the Gorillaz track. Throughout his track, Dags flows through the 2005 song’s memorable bassline with a rhythm akin to Damon Albarn‘s.
Directed by L Frost, the music video also references the 1990s with frequent displays of low-quality graphics, reminiscent of a time decades earlier. Premiering on March 21, 2026, the video to date has amassed well over 6 million views.
