In case you missed it — or haven't watched the breakdown videos yet — SZA makes a cameo appearance in the powerful video for Childish Gambino's "This Is America." It looks like Gambino will return the favor in SZA's upcoming video for her song "Garden (Say It Like Dat)."
For Mother's Day, the GRAMMY-nominated singer/songwriter teased a clip from the upcoming music video for "Garden (Say It Like Dat)" from her 2017 GRAMMY-nominated album Ctrl. The brief clip shows SZA with her mother dressed in an elegant all-white suit in the foreground.

The credits in the clip also reveal that Gambino is featured in the video and Karena Evans served as the video's director. Evan's also directed Drake's "Nice For What" and "God's Plan" video this year.
While SZA didn't include a release date for the "Garden" video, we can only hope it's soon.
