JOE BUDDEN – FREEDOM FREESTYLE [VIDEO]

Joe Budden takes a break from aiming his verbal vitriol at Drake to drop this much needed “Freedom” freestyle that harnesses the anger of the community in the numerous deaths of African Americans at the hand of police. A matching of equally troubling visuals comes as a fresh reminder how much despair there is in the community.

“I was told there was once a world where slaves communicated with each other via music, and tho I wasn’t present for that, the HipHop I fell in love with always encouraged me to do the same (Thank you Public Enemy)…. Let this act as an unfortunate reminder that times change and they don’t. #BlackLivesMatter #YallLivesMatter #OurLivesMatter … I’m afraid to wonder what happens when we as a ppl decide to stop saying it. Some deem us threatening now by sheer design. We are not. We are loving, passionate, cultured and proud, even during unrest. However, with every life viciously and maliciously taken by costumed evil, we grow more and more afraid. What will occur when too many of us are afraid? #IfYouDontValueMyLifeEYEWill #GodHelpUsAll #TheMissionIsGreat” – Joe Budden
