Reuben Vincent has teamed with Rapsody for "Feb. 13," the latest song to drop from his Love Is War album, which dropped earlier this year. The track was released in celebration of "Black Love Day" and finds the two MCs pontificating about the ins and outs of love over mid-tempo production from Young Guru.
In the thoughtful video, directed by Patrick Lincoln, both rappers remember life with their old partner, trying to figure out where the love went wrong and how to move on so they can do better the next time.
"Feb. 13th is a record that’s full of pure emotion. Ironically, I found out it was celebrated as “Black Love Day,” but this song was made to tackle the ups and downs of relationships, and the wrongs that come with it," Vincent said in a statement. “It was the day before Valentine’s Day so we wanted to make this the break up song. Everyone who is a part of this record experienced real emotions to get to this point."
For her part, Rapsody says making both the song and video was an "organic experience."
“Myself, and Reuben were staying with Young Guru in LA during the pandemic; waking up talking, learning together, having life conversations,” she said. “We all put our experiences in the music, and we all poured into the idea of the visual in the same way. Guru had the initial concept, I was on Pinterest finding inspiration for how to execute it, Reuben was throwing in scene ideas. It was how creating in a village is suppose to look, that’s how it all came together so well.”
