[youtube id=”-iwNGSf3un8″] Tarica June is back with a new politically-oriented song and video, “But Anyway.” The DC rapper directed the clip where she walks through the neighborhood and levels a critique of the criminal justice system and the music industry but also celebrates the former community she saw growing up. June is currently prepping her Stream Of Consciousness EP.

Tarica June is an emcee from Washington D.C. who isn’t afraid to embrace the boom-bap with her breathless lyricism and dense beats. “Gone” is her freestyle over Jay-Z’s and Rick Ross’s “F*ckwithmeyouknowIgotit” and her delivery is another shot against the never-ending meme that “Hip-hop is dead.” The song is from her downloadable Stream Of Consciousness mixtape.
