LaNell Grant, TuKool Tiff, Tylynn and Porsha Love turn up the intensity with “Rap Like A Girl,” a hard-hitting Christian rap collaboration accompanied by an equally powerful official music video, shared August 6 on LaNell Grant’s YouTube channel.
Released July 24, “Rap Like A Girl” is anything but soft. The hardcore Christian rap track gives each of the four women an opportunity to showcase their lyrical ability, commanding flows and undeniable presence. The song has already earned attention within the Christian hip-hop community, including placement on Rapzilla’s “Christian Rap” playlist and NewReleaseToday’s “New Christian Rap Queens” playlist.
The accompanying visual matches the song’s energy from beginning to end. Shot entirely in black and white, the video puts LaNell Grant, TuKool Tiff, Tylynn and Porsha Love front and center as they spit their respective bars with aggression and confidence.
What makes the video particularly captivating is its editing. Quick pops, screen shakes, split-screen sequences and other visual effects heighten the intensity of the performances, creating a fast-moving visual that feels every bit as forceful as the track itself.
Ironically, despite its title, these women are not “rapping like girls.” They are going as hard as the guys, delivering their lyrics with the kind of conviction, aggression and technical skill that demands attention.
