Break
Break is an empowering, gritty hip hop track that highlights the disparity between male and female rappers.
Denisse channels 90's East and West Coast inspirations to deliver a light-hearted but powerful performance atop a boom bap beat produced by Sam Poetry.
Factoids: The rapper that Denisse disses in this song personifies toxic biases within the industry – not an actual rapper. The term “bitch” isn’t used for a specific gender but as stated at the beginning of the song, a bitch is anyone who believes women can’t rap.
