Miss Chiff & Fury are "In Control" on Latest Single
Chicago-based hip hop songstress Miss Chiff is making yet another statement with her latest Visual SZN-directed music video, "In Control". In her latest release, she teams up with Chicago MC, Fury as she tackles real & powerful topics through the vehicle of great music.
"In Control" is about the objectification of women in the music industry; specifically Hip Hop. Miss Chiff states, "the Hip Hop genre is flooded with misogyny. Instead of fighting it, female rap artists seem to fuel the fire by branding themselves to fit into the molds that are laid out by the music industry. Like I say in my lyrics, 'Like our skills ain't real until we're signing record deals. To get them we go writing about our ass and throw on high heels'; women choose to objectify themselves and allow they're entire brand to revolve around sex appeal in order to gain attention. At the end of the day, it's less about their lyrics and more about their image. I personally find this approach to be the easy route. It's much more intriguing to me to listen to a female Hip Hop artist who has something to say and doesn't need to take her clothes off to get people to listen. I think it's important to fight for the possibility of women gaining mass appeal without having to incorporate sex into their brand."
Check out "In Control" below and be sure to catch Miss Chiff live at Schubas on November 1st alongside Sir the Baptist, Lili K, Keith James & more. Also be on the lookout for a special Los Angeles event this Winter. We appreciate your support!!
