Rising Philadelphia recording artist Ayanna Ife, the first transgender and blind rapper to break into hip-hop, joins forces with Queens viral sensation Zeddy Will and Brooklyn drill star Jenn Carter of the influential collective 41 for the high-energy new single, "Strut", released through Power Moves/Vydia.
The track marks a defining moment for all three artists, blending Ayanna’s unapologetic voice and history-making presence with Zeddy Will’s charismatic bounce and Jenn Carter’s sharp, commanding delivery. Together, they create a record that champions confidence, individuality, and the freedom to show up exactly as you are.
"Strut" has already generated early momentum across social media, amassing over 20,000 user generated videos on TikTok ahead of release, signaling strong cultural traction and fan excitement.
The collaboration has also caught the attention of DJ Drewski of Hot 97, known for breaking new artists and among the first to play both Zeddy Will and 41 on New York radio. Speaking on the release, Drewski shared, "One thing I’ll always stand behind is talent, and this collaboration is full of it. Yan’s story is powerful, but what really matters is the music. Pairing that with Zeddy Will’s creativity and Jen Carter’s presence makes "Strut" a standout moment in a time where authenticity wins".
The single arrives as Zeddy Will continues his ascent, recently named VEVO’s Artist to Watch for 2026, further establishing his role in shaping the next wave of New York music culture.
Meanwhile, Jenn Carter, representing Brooklyn and known for her breakout success with 41, brings her signature drill precision and undeniable star power. Ayanna Ife, proudly hailing from Philadelphia, makes a bold and history making entrance as a fresh voice uplifting visibility and inclusivity within hip-hop.
