Known for crafting choreography for Chris Brown’s tours, music videos like “No Guidance,” and large-scale productions such as the Breezy Bowl, Josh Smith revealed that the routine from the “Heat” video featuring Gunna was inspired by the iconic strolls of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity Inc..
The sharp steps, grounded posture, and synchronized energy reflect elements long recognized within Black Greek culture — a nod that resonated immediately with viewers who know the tradition. Rather than coincidence, the choreography was a deliberate homage, blending fraternity-rooted movement with mainstream performance on a global stage.
