Eclectic and experimental South African rapper Dope Saint Jude is preparing for her new EP but in the meantime, she returns with the visuals for the song "Home." The cinematic production of this song takes the cake and shows her versatility beyond rapping as she explores different musical techniques. From the ominous sound design, vocal inflections and effects, and evocative lyrics that explore devotion, love, and sensual fulfillment, Dope Saint Jude brings something different to the table.
The visual also ties into her artistic brand and messaging with its sultry aesthetic and sensual depiction of feminity. As a strong advocate for feminism and queer rights, Dope Saint Jude doesn't shy away from her beliefs and it's shown in all its glory on screen. The visual splices moody scarlet backdrops with black female bodies that exude strength in different ways. It also strays from the obvious use of performance cuts and stays focused on the performative and expressive power of the female being in a unique manner.
Dope Saint Jude is a South African rapper/producer/songwriter who came out the gate in 2016 with her Reimagine EP followed by Resilient in 2018.
