Rapsody: "It's a concept that I've wanted to do for years because 'Keep Ya Head Up' is one of my favorite songs. I remember how much that video and that song meant to me as a young girl. To see somebody in hip hop with such a strong voice like Tupac make a record that was specifically talking to Black women, and to talk to us the way he did...and then for him to talk to the brothers like, 'What are we doing? We have to protect our women more. We have to be the men that we were meant to be.' He was the man he was because of who his mother was and how she raised him."
