A UK-based Nigerian emcee named Aina More is giving us all the magical Black girl realness in her new video for the songGirls Killing It.”

The official video for the beat-heavy, sultry summer anthem features More and her friends hip rolling, bike riding, and making space for Black womanhood across London. What is particularly appealing about the Hip Hop inspired record and video is the visible absence of the dominant-male form and voice. While the video does feature a single Black man, it is clearly about More and her “girls.” The song makes you want to dance and the colorful video reminds you that sisterhood is a beautiful thing.
