Flau’jae – “Remember When” [VIDEO]

Flau’jae Honors Her Father in “Remember When” single

Rapper, athlete, and rising cultural force Flau’jae Johnson has released her most personal single to date, “Remember When,” under Flauge Entertainment/Roc Nation Distribution. Known to millions as a dynamic NCAA basketball star at LSU and a genre-bending recording artist, Flau’jae steps into vulnerable territory with this release—offering fans a deeply human look into her pain, purpose, and legacy.

The single is more than just music—it’s a reflection of generational trauma, resilience, and healing. With a poetic blend of rap and R&B, Flau’jae pays tribute to her father, the late Savannah rapper Camoflauge (Jason Johnson), who was shot and killed in 2003—just months before she was born.

The Pain Behind the Pen: A Tribute to Camoflauge

Jason “Camoflauge” Johnson was a promising rapper signed to Universal Records. He was poised for mainstream success when tragedy struck. On May 19, 2003, Camoflauge was fatally shot outside Pure Pain Records in Savannah, Georgia. His daughter Flau’jae was still in the womb.

The loss shaped her life before it even began. “Remember When” explores that invisible inheritance. Flau’jae uses her platform to transform personal grief into universal connection. The opening bars hit hard:

“I came in a family it was already torn / My mama couldn’t smile when she had me, she had to mourn…”

In just a few lines, she captures the emotional weight of being born into sorrow—and the strength required to rise above it.

Visual Poetry: The Music Video as a Living Memorial

The song’s release is accompanied by a stirring music video, rich with symbolism and emotion. Directed with sensitivity, the video features Flau’jae rapping in front of a piano, intercut with powerful visuals:

• Black-and-white footage of Savannah streets
• Archival clips of Camoflauge performing
• Photos of his vinyl record and tombstone
• Her own rise, from America’s Got Talent to viral basketball highlights

One of the most poignant moments comes at the end of the video: a still image of her father with the caption:

It’s a full-circle moment—Flau’jae connecting two generations, two dreams, and two destinies through music.

Balancing Stardom: NCAA Champion by Day, Lyricist by Night

Flau’jae isn’t just a recording artist—she’s also one of the most exciting players in women’s college basketball.

As a key player on LSU’s national championship team, she’s helped lead the Tigers to the top of the NCAA ranks. Her standout performance in the 2024 NCAA tournament included 24 points in a Sweet 16 win over UCLA, proving that she can deliver in high-pressure moments—on the court and in the booth.

She currently stars in ESPN’s “Full Court Press”, a documentary-style series following three elite women’s college basketball players. The show highlights how Flau’jae manages her dual life: balancing practices, performances, classes, and studio sessions.

Few athletes have been able to maintain such a unique dual-career arc—and fewer still as gracefully.

The Power of Purpose: Turning Grief Into Growth

“Remember When” is part of a broader mission Flau’jae has embraced: turning tragedy into triumph. Her career, both in sports and music, is about honoring her father’s name while creating a legacy of her own.

This mission is clear across her discography and in her community work. Her earlier project, Flau & B, explored identity, love, and struggle through a blend of R&B melodies and Southern rap textures. Collaborations with hip-hop legends like Lil Wayne have positioned her as a serious contender in today’s music scene.

She also uses her platform to speak out on gun violence, mental health, and youth empowerment—especially in underserved communities like Savannah.

Full-Circle Moments: The BET Experience and Beyond

The timing of this release is no coincidence. Flau’jae is gearing up for a high-visibility weekend at the 2025 BET Experience in Los Angeles. On Saturday, June 7, she will coach the BET Celebrity Basketball Game, merging her two worlds—music and sports—in a symbolic, celebratory way.

Coming off recent performances on the DLOW CURRY Tour (alongside BossMan Dlow) and accolades from Billboard, BET, and Forbes, this new single cements her place as more than a crossover act—she’s a culture-shaper in real time.

A Message to Her Generation

In “Remember When,” Flau’jae speaks not just to those who’ve experienced loss—but to a generation trying to find hope in a chaotic world. Her words reflect the complexities of being young, Black, talented, and ambitious in America.

She’s creating evergreen music—not tied to trends, but tied to truth.

This message resonates particularly strongly in today’s cultural moment, where conversations about legacy, mental health, and generational trauma are more visible than ever. Flau’jae doesn’t offer easy answers—but she offers honesty, and that’s what sets her apart.

Why “Remember When” Matters

Flau’jae’s journey is both deeply personal and profoundly public. With “Remember When,” she invites fans into a more intimate space, showing that strength often comes from the most painful places.

She’s living proof that our past doesn’t define us—but it does shape us.

Whether you know her as a basketball phenom, a hip-hop powerhouse, or simply as Camoflauge’s daughter, “Remember When” demands you see her for who she is: a full-spectrum artist with a purpose.
