New York artist Xenia Rubinos has shared the music video for a new song, “Who Shot Ya?” The video was shot in collaboration with filmmaker Julia Pitch and choreographer Kate Watson Wallace. In a statement released with the song, Rubinos said:

I’m cheering on my fam to go and get it, whether that be get their rest, get their peace, get their money, get their justice—to get up and get it. How many more times am I going to hear another man in power talk about what is best for the people, only to turn around and put children in cages and murder innocent people in their sleep? This perceived power is no action at all when their interests aren’t being served. The system is working as it was designed to and I’m trying to amplify some of that in my work.

Earlier this year, Rubinos and Helado Negro came together for the song “I Fell in Love.” Her latest album, Black Terry Cat, came out in 2016.
