Acclaimed Spoken Word Artist Dasan Ahanu Shares Visual for Poignant ‘Pieces of Time’
Acclaimed poet, musician, author and educator Dasan Ahanu has released the stirring music video for “Pieces of Time,” a featured track on his latest album, (STAW) + (REE) + (TEL) + (UH), Vol. 2. Known for his dynamic blend of Hip-Hop, Spoken Word, and soulful storytelling, Ahanu’s latest work explores the meaningful moments that shape our lives, the power of purpose, and the unwavering support of community.
Self-directed alongside Jamaal Torrance, and shot and edited by Good People Media, the “Pieces of Time” video brings Ahanu’s vision to life, capturing an artist’s journey that celebrates resilience, self-discovery, and the love of those who stand beside us. With richly layered production by The Genius Party collective’s Alt Willy, the track exudes the perfect groove and energy to amplify Ahanu’s message.
“This is more than a music video – it’s a reflection on purpose, resilience, and the love that community provides, inviting viewers to honor the meaningful moments that define us. I hope listeners see their own journey in this story. That it reflects what it means to walk in your purpose and overcome doubt and expectation. But I also hope they recognize that we don’t do this alone. We have our community, friends, and family in our corner. My community has been essential to my journey, and that’s the love I wanted to put into this project. ‘Pieces of Time’ is a statement about the burden and responsibility that comes with being an artist. It’s a declaration from a wordsmith contemplating what it means to be rooted in community, to operate with a level of social consciousness, and to be attentive to the power of your craft.” – Dasan Ahanu
The title, “Pieces of Time,” represents those meaningful moments we gather along the way, shaping who we are and how we grow. Through his poetic lyricism, Ahanu invites viewers to remember the power of connection and support that sustains us, honoring both the personal and collective journey.
