Rapsody is an excellent storyteller.

For the better part of a decade, Rapsody has floored fans with her tremendous pen game and ear for great production. After a four-year hiatus, the North Carolina-bred MC returned in 2023 with her GOATED: Rapsody LP with a bevy of features from JID, SiR, BJ The Chicago Kid, Queen Latifah and more. In the next couple of months she will be returning with another LP and to hype it up, Rapsody is here with "Stand Tall."

This track is essentially a tell-all in a sense. In "Stand Tall," she addresses some personal topics such as authenticity, sexual preferences, anxieties. The accompanying music video is also pretty heavy. According to the press release, Rapsody is speaking with actress Sanaa Lathan for about two minutes or so about the things she then attacks in the song.

Quotable Lyrics:

Tryna meditate to calm my heart, racing like a ambulance
So I ain't got no answers, you can beliеve what you choose
I'm tryna focus on sleeping at night without waking up panicking
Steph lost hеr father, I'm tryna be here for my friends and them
Mees lost her father, I'm tryna be here for my friends and them
Free my spirit so I ain't looking in the mirror seeing Candyman
