Rapper YG has released an official video for his new single, “FTP,” a song which reacts to police brutality and serves as a musical form of a Black Lives Matter protest. The music video highlights recent activism over the systemic racism plaguing our country. YG delivers a powerful critique of the police force, as well as a call for change. The video is viewable HERE, and the song is streamable HERE.
Reaching out to his Instagram audience, YG wrote, “You gotta understand that a lot of people out there they see me as a N*gga. They don’t see the black proud man. They see a kid from Bompton and they expect violence. They hear FTP and they think I’m gonna come and burn my city. So we showed up and did it right. We proved them wrong. The real story here is me and Black Lives Matter brought out 50,000 people today to peacefully protest and unite for change….That is history. That is breaking down these stereotypes on our people and our neighborhoods.” – @YG Instagram
