Video: Keonté Beals – King
Our brother from Halifax, Nova Scotia Keonté Beals dropped the video for his brand new single King.
King embodies my experience of being a young, successful black man in todays society. Having to be solid and strong despite the pressures of society. Toxic masculinity that is more of a brand rather than a character trait. King doesn’t describe myself as being King of everything, but rather using King as a figure of speech to symbolize the rock of a crumbling empire, the rock being myself & the empire being mental health, stigma, police brutality etc. Black men are pushed into a box & anything outside of that box is side-eyed and unacceptable. King is a musical war cry directly targeting the barriers of toxic masculinity & stigma to get to the core. Starting the conversation.
