about
With the release of her explosive debut single “No More Fear,” Tikyra, the ferocious young drummer for 2020 Grammy nominee Southern Avenue, gives voice to a generation on the cusp of revolution. Written after the killings of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor as well as the protests against racism that consumed the country afterwards, the track is Tikyra’s first solo effort and speaks her truth in volumes through raw funk and soul. Tikyra plays every instrument and sings on the tune, which was produced by Grammy-nominee Kurt “KC” Clayton and mixed by Kevin Houston (North Mississippi Allstars, Samantha Fish). “No More Fear” is a triumph of righteous anger, a call to action set to a danceable beat and the next step in Tikyra’s spiritual and musical evolution.

“No More Fear” Lyrics
written by: Tikyra Jackson
Whoop
Here we are here we been
Revolution said begin,
Sick and tired of the man
Tryna kill me and my friends
Standardized, we align
We seek justice for you crimes
No more peace till you bring mine
No excuse, Now is the time
No more fear no oppression
Choose your side or your weapon
No more fear no oppression
Choose your side or your…...
Dirty deeds, bloody hands,
Filthy rich don’t give a damn
Sister brother we cry out
Retaliation is at hand
How long did you think
You could carry on this way
No more peace till you bring mine
No excuse, Now is the time
No more fear no oppression
Choose your side or your weapon
No more fear no oppression
Choose your side or your…..
Point ‘em out, we close in
On they case just like a trend
Big headlines on the screen
Conviction for every Klan
Wait a minute I ain’ t finished
Reparations right this way
You could carry on this way
No more peace till you bring mine
No excuse, Now is the time
No more fear no oppression
Choose your side or your weapon
No more fear no oppression
Choose your side or your…..
