The Progressive Underground Pick of the Week: ‘Girl, Get Up’ by Doechii and SZA
Chris Campbell here from the Progressive Underground to drop our Pick of the Week.
R&B and Hip-Hop artists Doechii and SZA
This one brings together rapper Doechii and vocalist SZA on a record that lands like an anthem. It speaks to misogyny, pressure, survival inside the industry, and it doubles as a reminder for women of color to keep rising no matter what stands in the way.
Doechii is razor sharp here. Technically gifted, confident, fully in command. And SZA adds emotional lift, tone and atmosphere that wraps perfectly around the message. Together, they turn affirmation into sound. Here’s “Girl, Get Up.” My Pick of the Week.
Doechii and SZA with “Girl, Get Up,” a powerful meditation wrapped in rhythm.
