When you hear Yaya Bey talk about the state of the world, there's no question where she stands on the important issues. She's straightforward and fearless in discussing politics, race, the economy and how all of those things tie into her music and the way her music is received by the industry, especially as a Black artist. But that doesn't mean her new album, do it afraid, is heavy or humorless.

Earl Sweatshirt's concept of 'mirror raps' captures self-affirming themes; Yaya Bey's 'do it afraid' explores the effort of finding joy amidst life’s challenges.
