Setting off Black HisStory month with this video.
This video was leaked many moons ago but the actual song was published on Nov 7, 2020 as part of my newest album titled Baby (Being a Black youth).
The video is filmed in Seattle public library, Seattle Central Community College, and other places around the Town. I asked friends/fam to show up with kids, kid brothers and sisters, nieces and nephews or whoever.
I also want to say R.I.P. for my sister Rahwa who doesn’t appear in the video but she did show up to the shoot and she brought her nieces and nephew along, who do appear throughout the video. ??????
Also, shout out to all the friends and family who participated in making this video happen, including Patrick Richardson Wright & Kyle Johnson who filmed it.
And special shout out to Larry Mizell for having the African medallion as a prop, and my Massive Monkees fam, @twixx_mm and @seansteady who was maybe 8 years old when he did that headspin in the video.
The whole point of this song is to dig deep. The best story to know is your own story. Also, beware of where you dig for information because not all books are about you, so they really “bout you” and do more harm than good.

Every month is Black HisStory month.
Speak On It!
