“Have U 2 Myself“: Da Brat & Jessica Betts Deliver a Soulful Pride Anthem
“Have U 2 Myself,” a compelling collaborative single from hip-hop luminary Da Brat and the soulful vocalist Jessica Betts, subtly emerged in late May 2025, perfectly timed for Pride Month’s commencement.
The track itself is a heartfelt, exceptionally smooth groove, seamlessly blending Brat’s distinctive rap flow with Betts’ rich, soulful vocals, thereby forging an undeniable anthem for love and unadulterated queer joy.
Released under Shawntae Harris (Da Brat) and distributed by Dallas Austin Distribution, the official music video for “Have U 2 Myself” debuted just yesterday, June 6, 2025.
