Mary J. Blige and Kanye West drop empowering new anthem
The legendary R&B queen is back to soothe our souls. Thank goodness.
On Friday, Mary J. Blige dropped her latest track, "Love Yourself," off her upcoming album Strength of a Woman, and much to our delight the new empowering anthem features Kayne West.
Not to be confused with Bieber's 2016 PG-rated angry track, "Love Yourself," Blige and West came together to send a powerful message of overcoming struggle and embracing self-love.
West drops a verse halfway through the horns-laden track addressing the brutality surrounding being a black artist and the struggles the black community faces in today's world.
"I decided not to use my color as a handicap," he raps. "I cannot be complacent / In my job, be courageous."
You can listen to the wise anthem below:
