Dora
Tierra Whack is back with her first solo single of 2020. One of Philadelphia’s most creative MCs in recent years, Whack’s wacky new release is a tribute to the doors she continues to open.
In the goofy music video, she surrounds herself with the stars of Sesame Street, The Muppets and multiple other iconic kids’ TV shows. Conceptual artist Alex Da Corte flips images from pop culture and classic toys, animating the video with crazy contraptions for Tierra Whack to play with. According to Da Corte, they sought to channel the positivity of Jim Henson’s impact on children’s educational broadcasting, using art to make smiles in dark times.
Whack’s verses have their typical charm, as she bubbles over the beat with bars about her upped money game. This tune is TikTok ready and full of fun. Hopefully, Tierra Whack is gearing up for a follow-up to her 2018 album Whack World. Explore ‘Dora’ and see what’s behind door number one.
