Music video

edit

The music video for "You Can't Touch Me" directed by Annti Jokinen starts off with Royce sleeping in his bed and awakening when the music starts. He then starts rapping, along with showing camera perspectives of numerous sleeping women in his room. As the second verse strikes, Royce appears in a dance club rapping along while the other people are dancing to the music. During the chorus, a lady from the dance club sings it. The third verse shows Royce leaving the building and walking to his car. When he reaches his car, he sees a woman waiting for him in the back seat to drive away from the building.[1]
