Teefa – Happy Birthday Hip Hop [Single + Video]

In “Happy Birthday Hip Hop,” Teefa drops bars that honor hip-hop’s history, piecing together shoutouts that highlight the game’s growth. The latest single, possibly landing on her new album The Making, plays out like a tribute roll call to some of hip-hop’s heaviest hitters.

Teefa‘s opening lines, “Everybody got bars I just know I’m smarter/ I ain’t know my father, that could be why my flow is harder,” mix bold confidence with personal truths. The Ferhan C-produced beat, with its hard-hitting drums and looping horn sample, tips its hat to old-school boom-bap while adding the Chi-city emcee’s unique twist.

The Tito Garcia-shot video drifts us through the treasure trove of a record store, guided by Teefa, in simple hoodie and shorts. Our resident microphone master shows love to some of the pioneers in the culture, carrying the heritage forward with each rhyme. 

“Happy Birthday Hip Hop” hits hard as Teefa’s salute to the roots and reach of hip-hop. Her sharp delivery honors the innovators while staking her claim in the hip-hop landscape. Don’t skip this track – it’s a blend of nostalgia and a declaration that hip-hop’s story is still being written.
