This podcast put together by Natalie Nevins details the song "Temptation" by Joey Bada$$ and the way it brings the African American community closer together, through the discussion of systematic oppression in society. The song addresses issues such as police brutality in order to legitimize the feelings and experiences of African Americans across the country.
