How am I supposed to live when I’m a “routine check” away from a casket? When I’m killed for carrying lethal skittles and deadly iced tea? When the day before my wedding I am shot? When a BART officer shoots me for complying? When the days before I meet college I meet a casket? When I am found disfigured after a white woman lies on me about whistling at her?
In response to the social injustice that has plagued society, most recently, the family of Michael Brown, 21-year-old Sacramento native and hip-hop recording artist Luke Tailor releases a very significant cover of J. Cole’s newly-released track “Be Free,” which touches on the hardships of trying to survive as an African-American in today’s society.
Take a listen to Tailor vent his frustrations below.
