Bodacious, body positive beauty Big Dipper has got yr summer hip-hop jam on lock! The queer rapper just released his latest vid for single Why We Can’t, from forthcoming debut album Late Bloomer. “It’s about that grey area in a relationship when the future is unclear”. says Dipper. “After I initially wrote the song, I kind of scrapped the whole idea because it felt too honest. I was scared of the change that was coming, but writing the song made it much easier to actualize my feelings.” Check it out below, featuring smooth vocals and a cameo by Brooklyn-based singer/songwriter Rena. (screengrabs via video)

Big Dipper:

“I’d been toying with the idea of making a low budget video with a simple concept that really focused on the message and idea of the song. I like the way the footage captures intimate moments with me and the camera but in public spaces; and I think it reinforces the idea of feeling alone even when there are other people around. The video is really open and honest and vulnerable…not hiding behind big fashion or art direction statements or gimmicks and tricks. The song is about coming clean with yourself, owning your truth, and I feel like the video expresses that.”

FYI my album is hella good. Excited to do all my new music on the road this Fall! Hit me up for Sep/Oct/Nov gigs 😉 planning out this calendar!
