Watch the full video to TYGAPAW’s music video ‘Duppy Know Who Fi Frighten’ from the upcoming album on Tresor YouTube.⁠ ⁠ ‘Duppy Know Who Fi Frighten’ is a visual and sound performance that’s a conceptual analysis of the structures that form under the exploitative nature of capitalism, and the desire to fight against the systems that extract and exploit. The title’s use of the Jamaican proverb “Duppy know who fi frighten”, for the purpose of this work, the interpretation being used is: ‘those who exploit know exactly who to target and who not to try’. The piece addresses our proximity to exploitative practices and whether we choose to engage in, or actively move towards creating more hospitable and inclusive environments.

It’s been one week since the release of my third album TOGETHER YOU GATHER ALL POWER APPLIED WORLDWIDE, and I’m feeling eternally grateful for everyone who has reached out to express how much they love the album. This one is definitely hitting different, and I’m happy my work is resonating so deeply with you all. Being authentic and staying true to who I am is a very difficult feat in time of late stage capitalism. But I’m grateful that I’m built different, and my ancestors walk with me everyday. With that said, I’m excited to be performing @tresorberlin tomorrow night, Sat May 16th, where I will be presenting a club optimized version of my album live for the first time. If you will be there, count yourself as one of the lucky ones to experience my sound live. 🖤✨

Echoes of the NYC club scene permeate the energetic drums of ‘Exorcise the Language of Domination’, where Juliana Huxtable’s spoken performance complements the shifting movements and tones of the music. The album arrives on May 8.⁠ ⁠ “My producer brain thought this was the track that would be best suited for her vocals. I hinted, ‘what do you think of this one?’ as we listened to my demos. She went straight into her notes and picked passages to accompany the first section of the track. From there, it became a year-long process of development. It required time and space for this gem to evolve, but I think it’s one of the most powerful tracks on the album.” — TYGAPAW.⁠ ⁠ Photography by @andreaslaszlokonrath and @frenchgold

It’s increasingly apparent that we no longer have the luxury to carry on business as usual. As an artist the one thing I can do is create art that reflect the times. Having to release an album while the world is under siege is not a comfortable position, but what I’m grateful for is that I’m an artist that speaks the truth through my music. And what I have created with my 3rd album “Together You Gather All Power Applied Worldwide” is a sonic cry for Black queer and trans liberation, and ultimately the liberation of all marginalized people’s. My music is here to activate you. Defiantly refusing to be silenced and erased, I’m breaking through the chaos with my 3rd single released today and it’s one of my favorite tracks from the album featuring the one and only @julianahuxtable , with a vocal performance that takes my composition to the absolute next level 🔥. “Exorcise The Language of Domination” took a year to complete due to our busy tour schedules, but this collaboration was ordained and destined to be delivered to you. Take a moment to listen, digest and process this music. The album arrives May 8 via @tresorberlin Link in bio Photos by @frenchgold

“Don’t Panic” is really about my resilience and perseverance. I insist that no one will define the terms of my existence. I hope when you listen to my track and watch the music video it inspires you to live fully in your truth. “Don’t Panic (feat. Ms. Carrie Stacks)” is the second single on my 3rd forthcoming album “Together You Gather All Power Applied Worldwide”, out May 8th.
