Da Brat is back and switching gears in a big way. The Chicago rap icon known for her hardcore bars and untouchable delivery is stepping into a softer light on her new single “Have U 2 Myself,” featuring none other than her wife and R&B singer-songwriter Jessica Betts.
It’s been almost three years since Da Brat last dropped music, and this new record marks a noticeable shift from the aggressive flows that made her a trailblazer in the ‘90s. Instead, she’s serving up sultry, love-soaked lyrics over smooth production, showing a more intimate and vulnerable side that longtime fans may not be used to—but it works.
Betts, who’s married to actress Niecy Nash, brings the soulful edge that ties the whole track together, making it feel more like a genuine duet than a feature. It’s an authentic love story on wax, and the chemistry is undeniable.
Back in the day, fans might’ve considered a record like this unthinkable from Da Brat. But times have changed and so has the music. What hasn’t changed is her ability to evolve, adapt, and still stand ten toes down in her truth.
“Have U 2 Myself” is more than a comeback. It’s a statement of growth, love, and freedom—and it shows Da Brat still knows how to surprise the game.
Available now on all streaming platforms.
