The song is a plea to stop gun violence that plagues Black American males.
NEW YORK - Washingtoner -- "Ra-tat-tat-tat" will be available on all digital music streaming platforms on #newmusicfriday (Friday, 5/6/2022)
"Ra-ta-tat-tat" is a conscious hip-hop record that commands your attention with its jarring gunfire opening.
Benjamin Hey! (Laverne Cox, Marvel's The Punisher, NYFW) co-wrote and produced "Ra-tat-tat-tat" with collaborator, John B. Beyer (John Beyer Music, LTD imprint) The song was also co-produced with the help of extraordinary music producer, Doobie Duke Sims (Salt N Pepa, Shinobi Ninja, Spike Lee).
"I wish I didn't have to write this record. As a daily songwriter, I never know what the subject matter of that day's song is gonna be. For a while, my collab partner John kept nudging me to write about this heavy subject matter and I didn't want to touch it. After a few sessions, I relented and this is probably one of my most powerful songs. I was adamant that I didn't wanna just point out the problem of inner-city gun violence. I wanted to offer what I thought was a solution. I truly hope this song gets people to think." - The Captain
