ScarLip Drops Stunning Noir Music Video ‘Runaway Love Freestyle’

As her first visual release of 2025, this video sets a high bar—it’s the kind of work that demands recognition.
ScarLip opens 2025 with Runaway Love Freestyle, a bold reinterpretation of Ludacris and
Mary J. Blige’s 2006 track. Keeping the original Polow Da Don beat and Mary’s vocals intact, she uses the familiar foundation to tell her own story—one rooted in trauma, survival, and the streets of the Bronx.
Instead of just borrowing nostalgia, she reshapes it. Her verses tap into the same emotional depth but reflect her current voice—no longer a girl running from pain, but a woman confronting it. There’s a noticeable shift in tone, offering a more vulnerable side of ScarLip without losing her signature edge.
The new music video unfolds in stark black and white, placing ScarLip at the center while textured visuals and avant-garde figures move around her, deepening the narrative she delivers.
The freestyle not only showcases her lyrical precision but signals where she’s headed: deeper storytelling, bolder choices, and no fear of showing scars. For ScarLip, Runaway Love Freestyle isn’t just a track—it’s a mirror held up to her past, and a message that she’s not running anymore.
