Eve empowers the youth in the Robby Starbuck-directed video for her inspirational anthem “Make It Out This Town” featuring Gabe Saporta of Cobra Starship. In the uplifting visuals, the Philly rapper shows storylines of high school teens who face adversity. But they learn to overcome the odds with some help from the Big Brothers Big Sisters organization, for which Eve is an ambassador.

The song serves as the official first single from Eve’s long-awaited album Lip Lock, due May 14.

“I am releasing ‘Make It Out This Town’ as my first single from Lip Lock because I wanted to share the positive place I have come into,” said Eve. “I went through obstacles to get my music and message out and nothing embodies this more than this song, which also mirrors my recent honor and connection that comes with my role as an ambassador for Big Brothers Big Sisters. The song is dedicated to them.”
