She&#8217;s also been on stage as a backup dancer for Rob Base, Vanilla Ice, and Salt-N-Pepa, among others. The video for Brooklyn Queen&#8217;s previous single, &#8216;Keke Taught Me&#8217; saw her and her friends turn a quiet night at home into an energetic dance party: now she&#8217;s back with her new video for &#8216;Emoji&#8217;, which reminds us of the 80s film, &#8216;The Breakfast Club&#8217;.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">[space height=&#8221;10&#8243;]<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Brooklyn Queen&#8217;s work ethic and vision is unheard of for a girl her age, and as a result she&#8217;s garnered a legion of loyal fans who&#8217;ve been with her every step of the way. The video for &#8216;Emoji&#8217; sees Brooklyn Queen and her friends in detention on a Saturday morning, with the supervisor trying his hardest to knock the fun out of them. Eventually he leaves the room and the crew spill out into the hall, all the while saying how they &#8220;don&#8217;t need to say a thing, just send me an emoji&#8221;. Brooklyn Queen is full of sass with her references to the supervisor having stolen Drake&#8217;s wardrobe, and talking back to him while just trying to let him know he has toilet paper on his shoe. It&#8217;s lots of fun though, and makes great use of social media as well as emoji symbols decorating everyone&#8217;s clothes as well as peppering the lyrics.<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<!-- Random Ad stuff --><br \/>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display: block;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-2076862002005673\" data-ad-slot=\"3107208401\" data-ad-format=\"auto\"><\/ins><\/p>\n<p><script>\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script><\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">[space height=&#8221;10&#8243;]<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">&#8216;Emoji&#8217;
