Seasoned emcee Wake Self pays homage to his favorite classic hip-hop artists in “Still Love Her” from his upcoming album, “Malala”. From Common’s Resurrection and A Tribe Called Quest’s The Low End Theory to De La Soul’s 3 Feet High and Rising and Ice Cube ’s Death Certificate, “Still Love Her” brilliantly illustrates Wake’s love for hip-hop culture.

“I’m not one of those people who is stuck in the so called ‘Golden Era’ because I do believe great music has been, will be and is still being made,” Wake explains. “I feel a deep attachment, however, to classic hip-hop music. I feel like we as a culture need to start recognizing our heroes and teachers like other cultures and music genres do.”

Directed by Phillip Torres of Explore Media and animated by Josh Goble, “Still Love Her” captures the spirit of the Golden Era while Wake lends it a freshness with his yearning for a revolution.
