Rapsody released one of 2019’s best albums with Eve. In 2020, she continues to promote the body of work in 2020 with a fresh visual that pays tribute to Tupac’s mother, Afeni Shakur. The video to the song featuring PJ Morton arrives on what would have been Afeni’s 73rd birthday. She passed away in 2016.

The music video finds the Snow Hill, North Carolina lyricist stepping behind-the-scenes to let her pen do the talking. Pulling from an old video of Tupac speaking with a group of women, “AFENI” samples his live version of “Keep Ya Head Up,” and takes viewers through an experience many can relate to. Directly addressing the misogyny and mistreatment that many Black women endure, Rap’ sends a thoughtful call-out. “To protect our lives / you got’ take it to the limit? / Rib of my rib / do you still feel us in ya?” she raps over the 9th Wonder-produced cut.
