June 8, 2025 – Flau’jae Johnson released the new single “Remember When” on Friday, which the Savannah hip-hop star and LSU basketball phenom says is a personal tribute to her family, fans and “pops”, the late hip-hop artist Camoflauge, whose “legacy lives through every bar I spit,” she raps.
“For those of you that Remember When I was that little girl on America’s Got Talent, The Rap Game… my first season at LSU, first brand deal, first award show, first time performing for a sold-out crowd, my first time buying land—just know, we came a long way,” she said in her Facebook post about the release. “I’m still her, just elevated.”
Flau’jae’s release comes 22 years since her father, the hip-hop artist from Savannah’s Hitch Village, was gunned down on May 19, 2003 outside of his West 37th Street recording studio, Pure Pain Records.

On the track Flau’jae recounts her story that “started before she was born,” while also paying tribute to her mother, who was pregnant with her at the time of her father’s death and who she raps made her “stronger than everything I endured.”
“My momma couldn’t smile when she had me, she had to mourn,” she raps. “They killed my pop while I was in her womb, I wasn’t even formed.”
In April, the Associated Press reported that Flau’jae will be returning to LSU for her senior season.
“This is my last year,” Johnson said during a Front Office Sports interview that month. “I definitely want to win, but I want to make sure I’m being developed to be the player that I want to be in the WNBA.”
The property where the Pure Pain Records studio was located was one of the buildings the Savannah City Council agreed to transfer to a nonprofit developer, now known as Civis Foundation, in 2023, as part of the organizations plans to develop mixed-income housing in Cuyler-Brownville. The organization is in the process of restoring the Kiah House Museum after developing new affordable housing and renovating properties fire-damaged historic duplex at 2205 Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard, as previously reported.
