For his latest song “Harriet,” Toronto's Pressa addresses police brutality and racial inequality in the music video.
After inking a contract with Sony, Pressa has been on an impressive run over the past few months. The distribution of bangers, such as “Head Tap” ft. Sheff G and Sleepy Hallow, as well as “OTM” and lots of other singles, He's been busy in 2020 with keeping Toronto on his back while he's at it. But a far more imminent topic — police violence — is tackled in his new single. Earlier today, the rapper unleashed the video for his latest song, “Harriet,” disclosing police violence and structural injustice even as he enjoys success in the music industry.
The music video, directed by Michael Vincent, is more of a short film that deals more explicitly with these issues, as it evokes images of recent riots and police murders throughout.
Lyrics Snippet
N***as always been like surgery
Send a pussy ass n***a to infirmery
Ha, state of emergency
And they only give a cop a third-degree
And the other, should've got accessory
If you talkin' technically
