Nas Official Website

The official video for “Wrote My Way Out” has been released.

The song, “Wrote My Way Out”, from The Hamilton Mixtape features Nas, Dave East, Aloe Blacc and Hamilton creator, Lin-Manuel Miranda. The video features all the artists in the background of New York, as they each tell their story of using writing to achieve success.

The Hamilton Mixtape was released back in December 2016. The mixtape features songs inspired or from Hamilton: An American Musical by various artists including Jill Scott, Sia, Kelly Clarkson, and Chance the Rapper.

“Wrote My Way Out” is inspired by the song “Hurricane” (from Hamilton: An American Musical) that features the line, “I wrote my way out.” The line references how Alexander Hamilton used writing to achieve his own success, from making it to New York to becoming the first Treasury Secretary.

The video also features people from all around New York in their own way of life. The addition of young children and teens provides a special touch about the innocence and power of dreams. “Wrote My Way Out” is an important reminder to believe in our own talents and though things may get hard we can achieve our goals.

The Hamilton Mixtape can be found on iTunes, Apple Music, Spotify or other digital listening services.
