When it comes to some of the best emcees and lyricists not only female, but in all of Hip-Hop period now or really ever. Rapsody definitely stands tall in the discussion and proves so yet again on her vulnerably honest new single, Stand Tall. With lyrics like, ”I right hook, kick, push, fight through life like Ms. Hanigan. Either you Annie or you Annikan. You gon’ shine or fade to black as a result of all your damages. I learned life like bike rides, we gotta handle it. Visits with my Auntie, my uncle ashes on the mantelpiece. Her tears never stop, it’s like the cycles on a rinse-repeat. I’m cut from that cloth, so every day’s a mental cleaning spree. Navigating through this business, tryna find some decency.”
Stand Tall being the newest single from Rapsody’s upcoming long-awaited and highly-anticipated fourth album, Please Don’t Cry. That she recently announced will be dropping on May 17th and revealed the full tracklisting and guest features that will be on it.
Rapsody also debuting through Vevo a brand new C.T. Robert-directed accompanying video for the record. That finds her being interviewed by the beautifully talented Sanaa Lathan before the beautifully powerful new black-and-white visual sees Rap then by herself just performing her beautifully vulnerable and honest lyrics on the record to put a spotlight on the lyrics. Really helping bring those true to the core authentic real Hip-Hop lyrics even more to life for the Eric G-produced record.
