Premiere: Brooklyn’s Aly G Adds ‘Super Power’ Visuals to New Single
In the latest musical offering from Brooklyn’s own ALY G, the “Super Power” music video emerges as a testament to the strength and resilience of womanhood. Produced by none other than GRAMMY-nominated maestro Baby Paul, whose credits include collaborations with icons like Nas, Kanye West, and J Dilla, and shot under the skilled lens of Chardon Whitehurst, Executive Producer for “The Punchline Academy” on Eminem’s Sirius XM Hip Hop Channel: Shade 45, the video captures the essence of empowerment against the gritty backdrop of the Iron Triangle in Queens, NY.
“Super Power” is more than just a song; it’s an anthem celebrating the inherent superpowers that come with being a woman. ALY G’s lyrics delve deep into personal experiences, recounting instances of bravely fending off assailants with a fierce determination that defies societal norms. From thwarting muggers on the streets of Chicago to confronting predators in the subways of NYC, her verses resonate with a raw intensity that speaks to the indomitable spirit of womanhood.

Reflecting on her inspiration for the track, ALY G shares, “In flight or fight situations, you learn which way you go… I felt that same adrenaline pumping through me, making me feel almost superhuman.” Through poignant lines like “Anything you can do, I can do bleeding / My body can sustain life through a feeding,” she challenges conventional notions of strength and power, asserting that women possess the innate ability to overcome even the most daunting of challenges.
ALY G’s electrifying presence extends beyond the confines of the music video. With a knack for blending rapid-fire rhymes with themes of feminism and social commentary, she has garnered acclaim from industry tastemakers and audiences alike. Having graced stages alongside luminaries such as Awkwafina and Jean Grae, her debut single “Build It Up” drew praise from Music For All Magazine, dubbing her “one of the most intriguing artists to emerge in recent times.”
As she continues to captivate listeners with her unique blend of wit and wordplay, ALY G remains at the forefront of the hip-hop scene, collaborating with renowned producers like Baby Paul and Jon Blok. With her latest single “Super Power” serving as a rallying cry for empowerment, ALY G’s fearless approach to music promises to inspire and uplift audiences far and wide.
