Canadian rapper Classified is back with new music. The Enfield, Nova Scotia native wrote ‘Powerless’ for young women and children.

“This one is very important to me. I wrote it about a year and a half ago and happy to finally get it out to you guys,” tweeted Classified, whose real name is Luke Boyd.

“This song is a combination of a lot of different people's stories...”

“...that they shared with me either face to face, or through a message on Facebook or Instagram... thanks to everyone who helped with the song; from the young girl in [Newfoundland] who wrote me ‘thank you to my hero, I hope to meet you someday’ when I posted about her rape case last year…”

“...to the woman who let me use a recorded conversation of her mother confronting the priest who abused her... to my father for playing guitar... to all the vocalists on it... Christine Campbell, Laura Roy, and Elijah Will…”

“...to the young choir from Ontario who sang on it... to my daughter's friend for singing the young [girl’s] part... and most importantly, to everyone who will help share this song and [its] message…”

“We need to speak up for these kids... don't let them feel powerless.”
