Harlem has never needed permission to define hip-hop. It moves on its own terms, through lived experience, cultural pride, and a standard of fly that can not be replicated. Harlem rapper Fergie Baby taps directly into that lineage with the release of the official music video for “Good Day To Be In Harlem Remix,” featuring FERG, formerly known as A$AP Ferg of A$AP Mob. Shot entirely on location throughout Harlem and directed by Dre Hartwell, the visual is raw, energetic, and unapologetically rooted in Uptown New York.
This is not a glossed-over version of the neighborhood. Instead, the video places viewers right where Harlem breathes — on stoops, fire escapes, street corners, beauty shops and blocks that carry history in their bricks. The result feels lived-in, not staged, capturing the grit and cultural weight that has shaped generations of artists who came out of Uptown.
A Visual Love Letter to Harlem’s Grit & Greatness
Anchored by Fergie Baby’s grounded flow and introspective bars, the video moves with intention. His delivery reflects hunger, pride, and clarity, all wrapped in the reality of Harlem today. FERG’s unmistakable presence adds weight without overshadowing the record. His verse lands as a co-sign rooted in respect rather than nostalgia.
Together, the two balance performance-driven shots with authentic neighborhood backdrops. Harlem is not treated as a prop. It stands as the third lead character. Every frame reinforces resilience, creativity, and influence. This is the same Harlem that birthed some of the flyest rappers to ever touch a mic — from Diddy and Mase to A$AP Rocky — and the video does not shy away from that legacy.
Instead of relying on flashy distractions, Dre Hartwell keeps the focus on energy, presence, and place. The camera work feels intimate and intentional, allowing the environment to speak as loudly as the lyrics.
Bridging Harlem Hip-Hop Across Generations
“This record and video are about where I come from and the energy that still lives here,” Fergie Baby says. “Ferg hopping on this track shows Harlem unity and how our musical styles align. This is the new Harlem Anthem.”
That statement carries weight. The collaboration bridges generations of Harlem hip-hop, pairing Fergie Baby’s street-level storytelling with FERG’s global stature. It reinforces the idea that Harlem’s influence has never stopped evolving. It simply changes voices while keeping the same heartbeat.
FERG does not step into the record as a guest chasing relevance. He arrives as someone who understands the responsibility that comes with representing Uptown. His involvement validates Fergie Baby’s direction while reminding listeners that Harlem unity still matters in a culture often driven by individualism.
A Defining Moment for Fergie Baby’s Rise
The release of “Good Day To Be In Harlem Remix” marks a pivotal moment for Fergie Baby. His sound stays rooted in honesty, heritage, and lyrical depth, avoiding gimmicks while building momentum the right way. With a Harlem heavyweight standing beside him, the message is clear. This is not a fleeting moment. This is positioning.
Fergie Baby is carving out space as one of Uptown’s most compelling emerging storytellers, carrying the borough’s voice forward without diluting it for mass appeal. Harlem has always respected authenticity first, and this release honors that code.
The single is available now on all streaming platforms, and the video stands as a reminder that Harlem does not follow trends. It sets them — then watches the world catch up.
