Your support makes all the difference.Lin-Manuel Miranda just dropped a new music video for "Wrote My Way Out" featuring Nas, Dave East and Aloe Blacc.
The song comes from the Hamilton creator's second mix tape called "Hamildrops," which he announced last month.
"Wrote My Way Out" is also the second single from the mixtape.
The video for "Wrote My Way Out" is shot in black and white and features young kids and adults overcoming adversity and finding the strength within.
It's impeccably reflected in the hook with "I wrote my way out/I picked up my pen like Hamilton."
"Wrote My Way Out" was originally supposed to appear on the first Hamilton mixtape, released in 2016.
The first single from "Hamildrops" was "Ben Franklin's Song" featuring The Decemberists.
The inde-rock stalwarts used leftover lyrics from Miranda to craft the track.
Three years since the Broadway hit debuted, it doesn't look like its popularity will be fading anytime soon.
Miranda plans to release new music every month of 2018.
