Toronto Rapper Haviah Mighty Drops Video Game Inspired Visual For “Tesla” From Upcoming Mixtape ‘Stock Exchange’
Multiple award-winning Toronto-based artist Haviah Mighty is continuing her ascent with her latest single “Tesla”. Off her forthcoming mixtape Stock Exchange, the new single is a celebratory and reflective track driven forward by her fire-hot lyricism and hard-hitting production.
“Tesla” arrives with a video game-inspired visual directed by Jesse Bryan of Die Fire Films, with Production Company, Cultiv8 (who were at the helm for Haviah’s epic Obeah), as Haviah drives through Toronto. The song was initially inspired by Haviah’s first US mini tour just before the pandemic set in, writing the first lyrics while fueled by Los Angeles sunshine, striving for more.
Haviah says: “Being fresh off the high from freestyling on Sway in the Morning just a few days earlier, to performing in New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles…all of this solidified something in my mind – the idea that I could really achieve this. The only thing I have to do is continue to work hard. One thing I’ve always worried about is being stagnant and only being recognized for the last thing that I’ve done, so maintaining this work ethic has to be a focal point for me.”
She continues, “While much of this song talks about the things that I feel I’m on my way to achieving, some of which being those nice-to-have material things – for me, these things are symbolic of something more abstract – a lifestyle that I couldn’t fathom prior”.
