Common has released a powerful new music video for Still I Rise, featuring Scarface, and it’s a visual love letter to Black culture, resilience, and legacy.
The video opens with Common performing at a vibrant, 1970s-style house party packed with Afros, bell bottoms, and classic Soul Train-inspired dance lines. The scene radiates joy and community, pulling viewers into an era defined by soul, style, and self-expression. Adding to the moment, Black Thought of The Roots makes a featured appearance at the party, reinforcing the video’s celebration of lyrical excellence and hip-hop lineage.
When the song shifts to Scarface’s verse, the visuals take a striking turn. Scarface appears in a medical coat, portrayed as a doctor in his own practice—an image that suggests healing, wisdom, and hard-earned authority. The contrast between the communal party and Scarface’s composed, professional setting adds depth to the record’s message of growth and endurance.
Sonically, “Still I Rise” is a soulful, triumphant anthem—equal parts celebration and affirmation. More than just a collaboration, the track and its visuals feel like a ceremonial moment, honoring the journey and impact of two iconic emcees standing together, elevated and unbowed.
