DETONATE - G2, Jeris Johnson, Yonaka (Official Music Video)

After a crazy 2022 we’re ready to stay at the top and “Detonate”. Telling powerful stories, winning, and having fun is what G2 is about. Detonate represents G2’s ambitions for the 2023 competitive season, blowing up preconceived notions of the brand while celebrating the diversity and unity of the faces behind G2.

With old faces and new, the Detonate Music Video is a tribute to everyone who makes G2. From players, creators, staff, G2 army, and more, we are ready to enter the 2023 season with a bang.

Lyrics:
I been feeling bad to the bone
I been headed straight for the throne
if I walk into the room it’s a spotlight
if I’m ever knocked down bet I still fight

I can feel the energy
I can feel our strength build inside of me
we're everything you’ll never be
ain't nobody in the world with our legacy
time to move don’t hesitate
tick tick boom I’m never late
don’t stop now better run because

I’m ready to detonate
I’m ready to detonate
I’m ready to detonate

Can’t stop, I’m about to go off, like boom, yeah I’m the detonator

so if you think you’re bad like that
come on out and face our wrath
been moving up the board so fast
when the pressure on I’m so cash

I never hesitate on the move we’re too fast
I’m unapologetically born to the best
I’m about to blow you out

I’m ready to detonate
I’m ready to detonate
I’m ready to detonate

Bridge
I'm coming with that 'bang;
I'm coming for the top
I step into the room
make everybody drop.
This is my time
This is my shot
I'm a firestarter, in case you forgot.
I'm coming with that 'boom'
feeling like dynamite
Vroom Vroom
all day, every night
i'm ready, i'm ready, i'm ready

I’m ready to detonate
I’m ready to detonate
I’m ready to detonate

I’m about to go off, like boom, like boom, yeah
are you ready to detonate?
are you ready?
are you ready?

The fact that Caps’s dad is included is so heartwarming

[ROMESBand]

Hell yeah! We had a good time cooking this one up with Jeris and the G2 team.

[poxi]

First a power metal song, now a nasty breakdown at the end? Just another reminder why its good to be a G2 fan.

[notsoIcy]

The perfect song for a G2 csgo fragmovie doesn't exis...

[hudreg]

2:12 Probably the most liked person in the E-sport world

[jumper]

It´s great to be a G2 fan!
I love how all the different G2 members vibe together in this video. I only watched the League team last year but I will definetly start watching the other teams now

[PetervDam]

Love the song! What a banger again! After Our Way I hoped for another song, glad G2 delivers!

[chandraabudiman]

I don't play games at all and have zero clue about the e-sports world. But I'm a fan of Jeris Johnson and Yonaka. And this song is fire!! Love the melody, love the rap, love the breakdown at the end. Great stuff!

[godlgnv]

The God of E-Sports rewarded us once again with a Banger ❤

[zsolttoth]

Oh shit, I love YONAKA. What a BANGER!

[ralpvp]

Everyone thought the G2 content would drop in quality after Carlos left, but it just got better day by day.

[suprisek]

Since this banger dropped, G2's been winning everything! I'm glad

[iamsupergirl]

I’m here for Theresa 💙 this is banger 🤘

[mapleranger]

This looks like it was hella fun to shoot. Great vid

I accidentally pressed this and discovered a banger I probably never would have found

[paolocoletti]

I know I am late to the party but damn, this SLAPS big time ! Jeris and Theresa what a pairing 🌋
Been on endless repeat since I discovered

[zentrix.]

Hope this year will be much greater for G2

[ziemniakkilll]
