As Haviah Mighty sits at the center of the Canadian rap scene, she today shares “OK,” produced by Sauceboy, Nahum, Amir Jamm and Thabo. “OK” is a welcome reprise of her main topic of convo: self-assurance, with a cheeky, empowering video to match, celebrating and embracing her value. Watch and listen to “OK” here.

Haviah Mighty is constantly hunting down authenticity in her work, whether that involves exploring new musical styles as proxy for different sides of her own self, honing her ever-slick flow beyond everyone’s expectations, or weaving an unmatched level of perspective, history, and empathy into her storytelling. From her inaugural work on 13th Floor, chronicling the deep-seeded traumas of her ancestors & re-writing history the right way, from the viewpoint of the oppressed, to her recent mixtape Crying Crystals which turned the story inward on herself and her own trials in love and ambition, Haviah Mighty never takes a false step. On “OK,” she’s grounded and slick as ever with heavy 808s thumping and girls dropping by her side like flies.

Of “OK,” Haviah Mighty explains, “‘OK’ is an affirmation song through and through. It’s a non-humble, loud, amplified, radical acceptance that you (or others) are amazing. inherently. see lyrics: ‘hop out the bed, good morning! look at my face, it’s glowing…’ Barring up over hard knock 808’s and a repetitive catchy synth, Haviah raps of being real, being in a flow state, being indifferent to the competition and not having too many issues with the ladies… ‘OK’ is a feeling, mood, even an era… it’s when you defeat stagnancy and accept momentum with love. When you like the hustle, and the fruits of your labor.”

The video magnifies every lyric with exaggerated visual, and pushed the envelope of what each lyric could mean. Every scene is a mini movie, with focus on momentum, allure, and most importantly: comic relief. Over the course of two days, 30+ scenes and 30+ outfits, “OK” came to life.

All eyes stay glued on Haviah following her second JUNO nomination earlier this year, following her solidification in the history books as the first woman to win the JUNO (Grammy equivalent) in the Best Rap Album/EP of the Year category for her 2021 Stock Exchange mixtape. From her fans who eagerly await each release, to the critics who sing her praise at NPR, COLORSxSTUDIOS, Sway In The Morning, BBC Radio 1, HipHopDX, HotNewHipHop, FADER, Pitchfork, Rolling Stone, KEXP, & more. Haviah also won the Prism Prize for her powerful video for 13th Floor‘s “Thirteen” from the album that made her the first Hip Hop artist and first Black woman to win the Polaris Prize. She was the only Canadian to be nominated for Best International Flow for 2022’s BET Hip Hop awards, and opened for Sampa The Great at the end of last year.

Throughout her career, Haviah Mighty has tackled a range of deeply felt ideas and topics: the roots of capitalism, systemic racism, self-awareness, independence, strength in community, and beyond. On Stock Exchange we saw Haviah’s growth as a producer and her expansion as a collaborator – from that moment, she’s continued to rack up collaborators like TOBi, Jalen Santoy, Mala Rodríguez, Shad, Canadian rapper Connor Price (with whom she’s earned over 50 million streams on Spotify alone), Amir Jamm (Madonna, Preme), Bizness Boi (Lil Baby, J.Cole, 6LACK, Rihanna), Derelle Rideout (Lil Uzi Vert, Saweetie, Kodak Black, Gucci Mane), Tony Parker (Smiley, OhGeesy, 42 Dugg), and many more. On Crying Crystals we saw that Haviah is unafraid to evolve as she explored elements of hip-hop, dance, pop, and even afro and amapiano energies as new ways of storytelling, and delves inward thematically.
