Sometimes it’s easy to forget how far black people have come in the past few decades, especially when racism still (often casually) rears its ugly head. In song “Came A Long Way”, young Toronto rapper Just Cleve reminds listeners of black activists’ struggles; names like Martin Luther King, Rosa Parks, and Malcolm X get name-dropped against the slow beat.
The music video is filmed, home-made style, with an urban setting as Just Cleve raps, even encouraging black girls to love their natural hair.
“Came A Long Way” was produced by Giovanni and released on January 15. It can be purchased here via Bandcamp. Watch the music video below:
