II Quality shares a movement with “Know Your History”

II Quality’s newest single, “Know Your History,” is a mission statement, a call to arms, and a reminder of the riches that come from knowing about one’s past. Musical artist Stoel Miller, also known as II Quality, shares this message with undeniable conviction, offering fans a raw and honest exploration of the Black experience and the resilience of the culture.

Lyrics that include the lines “You know your history? Remember where you come from?” and the resounding rejection “Killing one another, that is not my choice,” its message is simultaneously urgent and centuries old. II Quality isn’t just speaking to his community, but to the world at large, imploring us all to take a step back, to remember, and to find strength in the stories that have formed us.

Along with a powerful visual to illustrate the message, the music video emphasizes these points with historical footage from protests and clips that highlight the ongoing fight for equality and justice. The jarring sight of a “BLACK LIVES MATTER” sign in the opening seconds is quickly followed by the song’s emotional heft, which continues at full charge.

“Know Your History” can be easily slotted into playlists focused on protest music, conscious hip-hop, or socially charged art. Still, more than that, it echoes as a document of cultural testimony. II Quality isn’t just putting out a song, but he’s holding up a mirror, daring all of us to take a long, close look at where we’ve been and what lies ahead.
