Ezra Collective | JOY (Life Goes On) feat. Sampa The Great & Joy Anonymous

I was inspired by Sampa's "Energy" music video because cinematically its pure art. Given it's women's history month, I thought this was fitting. The symbolism, expression and power in this piece is unlike any other. I really encourage you if you like these to go check out her work. She's from Zambia and the video includes Zambian language- I didn't include that because I wanted to focus on the feminine power shots. I hope this inspires you to remember how much power women have, they're the source of all of us- and anything that as a woman you feel ashamed to experience, claim that shit. It's your power.

Never Forget, by Sampa The Great, ft Chef 187, Tio Nason, & Mwanje

Y’all I have had this song on repeat for 3 days. Help. Sampa the Great is an amazing artist, the Black Panther trailer introduced me to a classic.

beyoncé, “sorry,” 2016

sampa the great, “protect your queen,” 2017

i don't wanna hear any complaints about female rappers 'always speaking about one topic' if you make no effort to listen to Sampa The Great, Sa-Roc, or OSHUN. You can always find what you seek but you're so determined to shut down and categorize black women before giving them a chance you're missing out on great music. And remember ALL these women that express the different aspects of life and sexuality and sensuality through their own personal lens of their world deserve respect. Rappers focused on consciousness are not better than those that speak on their experiences. "You know better so you did better, I'm a real bitch and my pussy wetter." holds just as much signification to me as 'strictly spiritual' music. Everything black women do is otherworldly and something to listen to and acknowledge
