Heavy is the crown

Styling - Published in Selin Magazine ISSUE 52 VOL. 31

‘Heavy is the crown, but, i’ma wear it ‘til I die
You’re supposed to be the king,
People still dependin’ on you
Even on your dark days, keep a little love inside you’
Pressure (2022) — Kojey Radical
An Intro to the Coronation reintroduces the culturally
significant item known as the durag, as an expression of
royalty and kinship amongst black males.

When an individual is crowned with a durag, they must
bear the hopes and burdens of his predecessors. But this
heavy burden is alleviated by the presence of His Council.

So The Coronated can stand strong with his head high
Because he is no longer alone.
