OFFICIAL VIDEO PLUS BONUS MINI MOVIE!
(ReggaeRapStar!... Superstar! Premiers her Brand New for 2016 Conscious Hip- hop tune. Written and Produced by Cherri Poet. When asked what was the inspiration for writing the song, Cherri Poet explained: "it was written at a time when I realized how influential I was as an artist. When I fully understood that, although an independent and unsigned artist, children and young adults look up to me in a major way. It was at a time when I noticed that what I did or said, others would follow. In College, if I pulled out a cigarette, the other students would want a cig also. If I used the " N" word, even the White kids would follow. That's when I decided it was more important for me to set positive examples thru my music, than to blow up quick talking I'll ish"
