Patty Monroe's latest music video for "Fighter" is directed by Dale Fortune. In the video, the Cape Town-born rapper shares her personal story of growing up; some parts of the video were filmed in the house she grew up in, with her mother and grandmother making cameos.
<p>In the song, she thanks her mother for all the sacrifices she made raising her: </p><blockquote><em>"Remember coming home late, and it was past five/ that's when she had to get up, to keep us alive/ hustle hard, she on the grind/ bringing us pretty things to keep our mind off the crazy world outside, life wasn't kind"</em></blockquote><p>Later on, as she shares her story of self-medication, she can be seen downing large amounts of alcohol in a bar. This, as she raps about the come-up and her journey in the game. She raps, <em>"taking sips of venom, thinking I'm in heaven, but that's just the shortcut to hell, I can feel it on my blood vessels."</em> </p><p><div class="preroll-video"></div><ora-player></ora-player></p><p>The visuals, however, end on a positive note, as a serene Patty is depicted towards the end. </p><p>"Fighter" enlists the effective vocal skills of the singer Caleb Williams.
