Emerging artist SZN has finally released the highly anticipated music video for her single “Dear Diary,” and it’s a nostalgic trip for fans of the iconic ’90s sitcom Moesha. The video, produced by Tazzianmalik, and shot by Ereidash, brings back those beloved ’90s and early 2000s vibes in a fresh way.
In a true throwback move, SZN raps in front of the legendary waterfall at Leimert Park—just like Moesha did in the show’s intro—bringing the past and present together in a tribute to both the series and the cultural essence of South Central Los Angeles. The song itself, which incorporates Moesha‘s signature theme song melody, blends the sounds of ‘90s R&B and contemporary hip-hop, demonstrating SZN’s ability to honor the roots of her community while pushing the genre forward.
With its visuals, “Dear Diary” stands out as more than a music video; it’s a cultural moment that connects generations through shared memories and love for a timeless show. SZN continues to shine as an artist who knows how to skillfully intertwine her personal style with iconic elements of Black culture.
