Premiere: Deanne Alexi – “Can’t Nobody” (dir. Medallion XLN)
Faith-fuelled self-belief meets Bay Area swagger in a video that refuses to play small.
The Vibe
Cut in Berkeley’s Skyline Studios and born on the streets of San Francisco, “Can’t Nobody” is Deanne Alexi’s battle cry for anyone tired of outside voices calling the shots. Over 30HertzBeats’ punchy production, she swerves doubt, dials up her faith, and plants the flag of radical self-ownership.
The Visual
Shot under the creative direction of Medallion XLN—the blockchain rebels championing creator sovereignty—the video turns a rose-garden revival into a cinematic sermon. Think gold-lit robes, android choirs, and a lens that never lets you forget who’s in control of her narrative.
Why It Hits
No limits: Deanne’s hook—“Can’t nobody tell me what to do”—lands like a line you’ll chant the next time life tries it.
Faith on wax: Spiritual conviction rides shotgun with hip-hop grit, proving gospel and slap can coexist.
Creator power: Medallion XLN’s imprint underscores the song’s message; if data is gold, artists should own the mine.

Who Is Medallion XLN?
More than a video director, Medallion XLN is building a programmable blockchain that lets artists mint, own, and monetize every digital asset they create—no corporate middleman, no data grab. In other words: they practice the independence Deanne sings about.
