Statik Selektah, and his bride-to-be, Fran, recently had their first baby girl (Harley Emma Baril) and they have been inspired to call attention to HG (hyperemesis gravidarum), a disease that affects the pregnancy process for 2% of women worldwide and one that his fiance, Fran, suffered with during the pregnancy of their daughter.
The disease is extremely serious and can cause birth defects, as well as be life threatening to both mother and child. To raise awareness of this disease that often goes mis-diagnosed, due to similarities with morning sickness, Statik Selektah has created a video with his fiance, encouraging more women and families to be aware and get tested if they suspect there is something wrong.
Statik and Fran are excited to share that they have a beautiful, healthy baby girl, because they were able to treat this disease early in the pregnancy.
The background instrumental for a portion of this video was created using Harley Baril’s heartbeat from inside the womb.
The song is featured on Statik Selektah’s latest album, Lucky 7, which is out now.
