Spice discusses the issue of police brutality during the music video for Po-Po.
Spice’s first studio album 10, featuring the song, was released in this song. It was distributed by VP Records in August last year.
2020 was a landmark year for the fight against the privileged and heavy-handed approach police often take against people of color. Ex-Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin’s death of George Floyd sparked protests and rallies around the world against police brutality.
Spice demonstrated support for Black Lives Matter Movement in 2020 when she participated in a demonstration on the streets. Her 2018 song, “Black Hypocrisy”, was her first public effort against equality. It was released as part of her Capture project.
With its direct approach to the subject, “Po-Po” echoes similar sentiments. Jay Will directed the video and Jay Budd Media shot it. Spice’s 14 year-old song Nicho is seen walking down the streets of Atlanta, before being stopped by officers. Spice was forced to teach her son the best ways to deal with police. These talks influenced Nicho who wanted to write a song, and that’s how we came up with the idea for Po-Po. ‘”
He’s 14 years old, and he’s on the record for justice. Spice spoke highly of her oldest son.
It is an amazing thing to collaborate with your child, especially if you are young. It is a sign that there is talent in the blood. One fan shared his gratitude for believing in him and having him on your Grammy-nominated album 10.
The video has racked up over 100 thousand views in less than 24 hours of premiere and one fan commented
“Doing a collaboration with your child, especially so young, is a big look. It shows that raw talent runs inna the blood. Thanks for believing in your son and having him on your historic Grammy nominated album 10.”
