The whole reason behind my album 'Free TC' is seeing all that police brutality, injustice, mass incarceration.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
For those of you that don't know, the reason I named my album 'Free TC' is because my lil' brother is named TC. He's locked up for something that he didn't do, and what I'm trying to do is just raise awareness around the whole mass incarceration thing going on in our country, especially with our people.
I realize I will always be the poster child for police brutality, but I can try to use that as a positive force for healing and restraint.
I'm in prison. But my heart and mind is free. Gangsta haters on the streets are doing more time than me. They need 30 police escorts with them every time they walk down the street.
Well, since I produce and pay for my own albums, it is the ultimate freedom.
Touring a segregated America - forever being stopped and harassed by white cops hurt you most 'cos you don't realise the damage. You hold it in. You feel empty, like someone reached in and pulled out your guts. You feel hurt and dirty, less than a person.
I feel like on 'Free TC,' you know, I feel like I went hard, and not enough people recognized.
The freedom you feel when you're actually in control of your own music is fantastic.
I always felt that rap didn't cause crime; it just reflected it.
Real freedom is creative, proactive, and will take me into new territories. I am not free if my freedom is predicated on reacting to my past.
When truth is no longer free, freedom is no longer real: the truths of the police are the truths of today.
