"What’s Yo Name" – A Revolutionary Cipher from The D.O.K. & Eboni Essenz (feat. Malcolm X)
“What’s Yo Name” is a bold, no-holds-barred exploration of Black identity, spiritual lineage, and cultural confusion—anchored by the timeless voice of Malcolm X asking the core question: “What’s your name—and why don’t you know now what your name was then? Where did it go? Who took it?”
On the track, The D.O.K. (Baba Amin) steps into the ancestral cipher swinging, naming the many masks our people wear—Afrikan, American, Israelite, Moor, Malcolm, Martin, Huey—while pushing listeners to reflect on the power behind the names we claim or deny. It’s part self-examination, part spiritual wake-up call, all rooted in Afrikan consciousness.
Then Eboni Essenz comes through with the divine feminine flame, confronting internalized hate and Eurocentric labels with unapologetic royalty. Channeling Yaa Asantewaa, Queen Nzinga, Hatshepsut, and the Queen of Sheba, she reclaims the mic as a sacred weapon and declares, “She think she God? Please believe her.”
This track is more than a song—it’s a cultural interrogation. A mirror. A challenge. A ceremony. “What’s Yo Name” demands we remember who we were before the world renamed us… and dares us to live like we know.
