Huey Remixed 2019: Rapsody

9 september 2019

    On September 9, 2019 in USA, a scene of Rapsody in a rattan chair, featured in the videoclip of  ‘Oprah’ made by Misa Hylton and Farah X.

    Marlanna Evans (born January 21, 1983), better known by her stage name Rapsody, is an American rapper from Snow Hill, North Carolina.

    Eve is the third studio album by American rapper Rapsody, released on August 23, 2019. Each song is named for an influential black woman, including Michelle Obama, Oprah Winfrey, Myrlie Evers, and Aaliyah.

    “Rapsody’s entire new album, Eve, is a vision of divine Black womanhood — but nothing on it stuck to my ribs quite like her stick-em-up anthem, “Oprah,” which also features Leikeli47. There, the two rappers talking shit not at a no-good boyfriend or a woman they’re sexier than, but to the power dynamics that have socialized the Black community into a scarcity mindsets, the psychological result of the internal, systemic terrorist attack that’s now lasted 400 years. “(https://afropunk.com/2019/09/rapsody-leikeli47-bring-new-meaning-to-oprah/)
