@ArtByBlack Taps Into Deep Introspection and Late-Night Intimacy on “Private Hours”

Bay Area artist and Zambian native @ArtByBlack just dropped an introspective, alternative rap visual for his track “Private Hours.”

The video opens on a cryptic phone call: a woman’s whisper slowly sharpens into a question —

“So take me to the beginning. What type of love did you receive as a child?”

From there, the record turns into a two part confessional with a biscuit. “Private Hours” plays like a late-night monologue aimed at both his younger self and the woman on the line, portrayed by the stunning Jazzi Anderson (@jazzianderson) in the visual. The performance is vulnerable without being performative — the kind of honesty you usually only stumble into after midnight.

This one is for the introverts, deep reflectors, and hopeless romantics who replay old conversations in their head.

We pulled up to the listening party for Black’s upcoming album and walked out genuinely impressed. If the crowd’s reactions are any indication, “Private Hours” is just the opening chapter of a rollout you’re going to want to sit with, not scroll past.
