“Wrote My Way Out” is inspired by the song “Hurricane” (from Hamilton: An American Musical) that features the line, “I wrote my way out.” The line references how Alexander Hamilton used writing to achieve his own success, from making it to New York to becoming the first Treasury Secretary.

The video also features people from all around New York in their own way of life. The addition of young children and teens provides a special touch about the innocence and power of dreams. “Wrote My Way Out” is an important reminder to believe in our own talents and though things may get hard we can achieve our goals.

The Hamilton Mixtape can be found on iTunes, Apple Music, Spotify or other digital listening services.
