Mooch directed the music video for "Holy Smokes", which premiered on July 20, 2021. The video begins with the actor David Mazouz seeing an explosion in Downtown Los Angeles, shouting, "Holy smokes!". The sequence is followed by a cameo appearance of the online streamer Adin Ross as a newscaster announcing that Redd will take over the city. The rest of the video features Redd and Lil Uzi Vert performing their verses at an arcade, in a limousine, and in an out-of-service elevator. Some scenes depict money being thrown around and burnt; in one scene, Lil Uzi Vert burns a $100 bill in front of their face. Another scene features a toy car transforming to a real-life one. The scenes filmed in the arcade and in Los Angeles streets were described as "fluorescent and psychedelic" by Hypebeast's Aaron Chow. Brenton Blanchet of Complex said the LED lights present throughout the video "make [the song] feel more vibrant than it already did". Michael Saponara from HipHopDX called the video "energetic", while Blanchet described it as "bright and flashy
"Holy Smokes" is a song by the American rapper Trippie Redd featuring the American rapper Lil Uzi Vert from the former's fourth studio album, Trip at Knight (2021). It was released by 1400 Entertainment and 10K Projects on July 16, 2021, as the second single from the album. Redd and Lil Uzi Vert wrote the song alongside its producers, Flansie and SSerotonin. The song is the first collaboration between the Redd and Lil Uzi Vert; Redd considers Lil Uzi Vert to be one of the greatest rappers to emerge from the SoundCloud rap scene. A music video directed by Mooch premiered days after the song's release and contained appearances from David Mazouz and Adin Ross. The video displays multiple uses of LED lights and was filmed in various places, including an arcade. "Holy Smokes" is a pop-inspired song driven by bitcrushed synthesizers and video game-esque vocal samples. The duo rap about earning considerable amounts of money but recognizing it cannot buy love. With a nonchalant vocal delivery, they also sing about what their money can buy and discuss their lifestyles. The track was positively received by critics; HipHopDX felt it was one of the better tracks on Trip at Knight, while other critics highlighted the song's fun and energetic nature. The song reached number 72 on the Billboard Global 200 and appeared on the national charts of the United States, Canada, and New Zealand; the song received a gold certification in the United States by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).
