A few years ago we met a promising young artist named Hannah Got Raps a few years ago at the A3C Festival in Atlanta and we couldn’t be more proud to see her growth. Earlier this week Hannah Got Raps released the official video for her single “Black” in celebration of Juneteenth and in commemoration of Black excellence, perseverance, strength, and love, even in face of struggle and pain. Hannah previously released “Black” to honor Black History Month 2020, and the message of the song has increased purpose with the recent tragedies of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, and more. In the video, over 48 hours, Hannah celebrates Blackness through a series of birthday, graduation, and photoshoot drive-bys and a community gathering in the historically Black neighborhood, Leimert Park in Los Angeles, CA.

The “Black” single is Hannah Got Raps’ ode to self-love. In Hannah’s own words, this record was her “mirror therapy…a clear reflection and representation of me and how I feel about my community, and how I feel about the life I want to eventually create.” Through this single, Hannah seeks to honor who she is and the heritage of where she comes from. x

As Hannah puts it, “I have found a lot of people gravitating towards the record now more than ever. So as Juneteenth approaches I wanted to put together a visual that doesn’t necessarily reflect the protest and riots…but a reminder that “Black” is meant to empower the African-American community, and anyone who connects to this piece — to embrace their Blackness and beauty, from the roundness of their noses to the coarseness of their hair…”

This record is Hannah Got Raps’ next break-out record, since her latest official release of her EP ‘Blossom’ in 2017. Hannah is coming out the gate with a powerful single, that is the reintroduction of Hannah Got Raps.
