The phrase “plug walk” was popularized by Black Kray (now known as SICKBOYRARI) in 2014 with his single of the same name.
The track’s cover features an astronaut floating in space, performing a space walk. “Space walking” is the process in which astronauts on the International Space Station exit the station and perform mechanical work on the exterior of the vehicle. Rich incorporates this within the title of the track and the repeated theme throughout the song. Additionally, the instrumentals of the track include a variety of lead pads and spacey synths, creating an out-of-this-world vibe. The space theme is continued throughout the track, with many mentions of “space coupes” and “spaceships.”
On March 4th, 2018, almost exactly 1 month after the track’s release date, Rich released the music video. Directed by Daps, the video was inspired by a scene from the pilot episode of the 2008 TV series Breaking Bad in which the main character, Walter White, creates a poisonous gas inside his RV meth lab in an attempt to kill two drug dealers and eliminate his competition. Rich explained the Breaking Bad theme in an interview with TMZ:
"I really like the—the show. I like Walter, and I’m the trap Walter, you know what I’m sayin'? I’m Breaking Bad in the kitchen."
In the video, Rich can be seen hanging out with the Instagram-famous rubber alien Lil Mayo, some almost-naked women, and a lot of various drugs. Though it’s clear that the scene is borrowed from the Breaking Bad episode, the video’s setting might be the infamous Area 51, considering the fact that it’s in a desert and there’s an incorporation of aliens and spaceships.

I don't even understand how the fuck my plug talk (huh? what, what?)
Pick him up in a space coupe, I don't let my plug walk (skrrt, pull up in a space coupe)
New freak, had to cut my other lil' bitch off (ooh, ooh, lil' bitch)
50K, you could come and book a nigga for a plug walk
You can't reach me (what?), space coupe like E.T
It's the plug tryna call me (skrrt, skrrt)
Ooh, on the wave like a du-rag (du-rag)
Pussy nigga callin' for his boo back (pussy)
Plug walk, Gucci on my shoe racks (Gucci)
Walk up in the house with a rat-a-tat
'Til I ran into the plug ('til I ran into the plug)
'Til I ran into the mud (to the mud)
I done ran into some racks, I done ran into your girl (your girl)
Why the plug show me love? (Show me love)
I done came up from a dub (huh?)
Plug walk (plug walk, plug, plug)
I don't even understand how the fuck my plug talk (huh? what, what?)
Pick him up in a space coupe, I don't let my plug walk (skrrt, pull up in a space coupe)
New freak, had to cut my other lil' bitch off (ooh, ooh, lil' bitch)
50K, you could come and book a nigga for a plug walk
Big ol' Bentley, it's a spaceship (whoa)
Call me on my phone, I don't say shit (what?)
I make money when I talk (when I talk)
I'm a boss, take a loss (I'm a what?)
I could introduce you to the plug (to the plug)
Bitch, this ain't no Henny in my cup (lil' bitch)
Stayed down, now the racks up (racks up)
She gon' let me fuck, ass up (ass up)
Plug
I stuck keys in the Louis V (Louis V)
Fuck 12, I'm a G, ain't no stoppin' me (ain't no stoppin' me)
And my wrist is on overseas (drip)
Rich nigga, you can't talk to me (rich)
Ayy, plug walk (plug walk, plug, plug)
I don't even understand how the fuck my plug talk (huh? what, what?)
Pick him up in a space coupe, I don't let my plug walk (skrrt, pull up in a space coupe)
New freak, had to cut my other lil' bitch off (ooh, ooh, lil' bitch)
50K, you could come and book a nigga for a plug walk
