“Me never did have no mother love when me a grow, my mother put me out when me was fifteen, and mi affi kotch with man,” she said in the song’s intro.
Last month, Mackerel did an interview with Winford Williams on OnStage where she broke down in tears while speaking about the hardships she endured growing up with her mother. Since then, she and m=her mom have been engaged in a bitter back-and-forth on social media. Now she is expressing herself in the form of a powerful new single.
“The struggle is real, but I’m stronger now /I’m a big girl now (repeat) / To judge people is a sin,” Mackerel sings. “Hear My Cry” is now available on iTunes and Spotify. Listen to the track below.
