Rising Florida rapper Tracei has been honing her craft over the past year. Her hard work in the studio so far has yielded a bass-heavy, brooding sound with catchy hooks and dynamic flows transposed from Cash Money’s Pen & Pixel era, and heavily influenced by the likes of Three 6 Mafia. Making her debut last year with the anthemic TK-produced “Face“, Tracei established that she’s unmovable and intentional with protecting her peace as she strives for stardom.
She continues to build on themes of feeling secure in her identity and remaining centered on her new Maxmizacion-produced single “I Said“. Today (3/25/2024), Tracei shares the single’s ’90s-themed music video. Directed by MYDRUNKUNCLE (Lute + Leroy) and shot by Daremen J. of Dreamstudios, the video stars Tracei as a Queenpin/crime boss-turned politician using the song’s title as her campaign slogan.
“This song is about protecting your energy and peace at all costs. Any behavior that challenges that must be corrected. This song does not promote violence but does represent what it looks like to stand up for yourself and use your voice. It gives that ‘I said what I said’ vibe… The video showcases a diverse cast of women, each with their unique style and presence, symbolizing the rise of strong, influential female figures in various spheres. The concept celebrates the notion that women are leaders, bosses, and formidable forces driving change and taking charge in society.” – Tracei
