Beyoncé, Shatta Wale, Major Lazer – ALREADY (Official Video) from #BlackIsKing via @lisafordblog
I haven’t posted Beyonce’ in a while on this website, but damn the Queen killed it with her new film, Black Is King, playing on Disney+.

Every single scene, shot, moves is perfectly executed and has a big meaning. Beyonce’ took a crazy amount of time to perfect this and you can clearly see it. I love love love love it.
