Mumu Fresh - "We're Already Royal" (

Mumu Fresh and Brian "B.Kyle" Atkins team up again to create a powerful visual for "We're Already Royal" - one of the leading songs from Mumu Fresh's mixtape - The Reintroduction of Mumu Fresh. This video project shows how the modern day African American community still holds the same indicative set of core values, morals, and ethics instilled throughout history and evident in ancestral memory. Let it be known that at the core, we are Kings and Queens, despite the assumptions or misconceptions others may have of us as a people.

[@Smiley_face622]

This is the kind of message that needs to be heard more. This song is the truth.

[@margretharris9532]

Spelled out plain and simple. Mumu Fresh is a hero to me! She’s a Goddess Empress in my eyes. She made me know I’m not crazy …just strong.

[@BlackWomenBlackHistory]

Still watching in 2018 🙌🏾

[@lysergicserpent7676]

holy crap. I discovered ms youssef's music not long ago, and I was fuckin with it pretty tough. I just heard this track for the first time tho.... and damn. If I wasn't all in before, I'm ride-or-die now. Def gonna go give the rest of her discography the time and attention it deserves. I love the reworked lyrics, taking that catchy ass melody and rhyme pattern - the best parts of an otherwise vapid, nihilistic party anthem - and creating this beautiful, layered and concise message: in one breath, singing with the poetry of celebration for life and love and family, and in another, spitting with dignified fury in a biting indictment of the forces of hate, fear, ignorance and avarice. You speak both truth to power and to the pain of our many breaking/broken hearts.

[@annacaddo]

Love the grass dancer.

[@camilwilliams1726]
