At a time when noise frequently overwhelms meaning, Haviah Mighty makes sense of it with clarity, self-assuredness, and a huge sound. Her newest single, "OK!", is a high-voltage, take-no-prisoners anthem of self-worth from one of Toronto's most dynamic voices in hip-hop.
Riding on the foundation of booming 808s and a hypnotically catchy synth line, "OK! thrives on its beat-heavy minimalism. This song is loud in all the right places, providing Haviah with the ideal backdrop on which to showcase her assertive flow and lyrical gymnastics. She comes out of the gate with glow-up energy, at once rapping with the ferocity of her razor-sharp confidence and no hesitation.
"OK!" challenges you to look the other way. There's no added flourish to Haviah's delivery. She has sidestepped set industry standards and mocked the clout-chasers, staking her claim with surgical precision. It's a song for staying grounded while soaring, for brushing off the noise and finding your light. It's a trap with teeth, sleek and jagged, crafted to rattle speakers and egos alike. But more than anything, "OK!" is a mindset. It's Haviah reminding the world and herself that knowing your worth is the fiercest flex of all.
And when you think the message can't be any more explicit, in comes the music video to contribute to the mood. Oozing empowerment and decadent imagery, it's a perfect visual accompaniment to the track's themes, full of style, edge, and in-your-face attitude "OK!" is not only a song but also a statement. A head nod to anyone who's ever been held back by someone else's judgment. On it, Haviah Mighty reiterates not only her status in hip-hop but her refusal to be anything other than fearless. And to that, we say more than just "OK!" that is excellence on her terms.
