Fridayy "Proud of Me" (Live Performance) | Open Mic - video Dailymotion

Genius

Fridayy is back at Genius with a powerful Open Mic performance of his song “Proud of Me.” The track, which features Meek Mill, is off Fridayy’s double album Some Days I’m Good, Some Days I’m Not. The painfully beautiful song holds deep personal meaning for both artists, who have lost their fathers and express the emotional weight of the loss through their lyrics. On today’s episode of Open Mic, Fridayy uses the stage as a form of therapy, letting his raw emotions flow line by line.
