The singer featured her youngest son Genesis in the video.

Fresh from hosting the 61st Annual Grammy Awards earlier this month, Alicia Keys has blessed fans with a visual for her latest single, "Raise a Man." The multitalented mother of two gets intimate in the visual, once again tickling the ivories while belting out melodious harmonies. There isn't a woven storyline to follow, but that doesn't make the music video any less captivating. Keys has been known to hypnotize fans by taking them on a poetic, lyrical journey, and she does so once again while rocking minimal makeup and a braided headband.

The singer was excited to share the video on Twitter, mentioning that her four-year-old Genesis Ali Dean made a cameo.

"I just dropped something for y’all! I was in the studio and I wanted to VIBEEEEE out! My friends were there, my Gen was there!! The energy just felt so right in the room that I wanted to share it with y’all. Can you feel me!???"
