Update: 11/8/2016 Donald Trump has run a campaign rooted in xenophobia, sexism, racism and general intolerance. He is now our President-Elect.

Update: 7/7/2016 I am black. I am a father. I have a conceal carry license. #AltonSterling #PhilandoCastile

Update: 4/28/2015 Riots have broken out in response to the death of a young man named Freddie Grey. Placed under arrest and refused medical care, Freddie died a week after his initial arrest due to a Spinal Cord injury. It is thought to have been caused by a "rough ride" in the back of a prisoner van. 

Update: as of 11/24/2014, a Grand Jury decided to not indict Darren Wilson on any charges in the murder of Mike Brown. A clear precedent has been set, the lives of Black Men and Women are meaningless and when in a position of authority, no heinous wrong will carry consequences due to your privilege. 

On the 9th of August, an 18 year old boy was shot and murdered by a police officer, not 2 days before he was slated to start technical school. This is only one of many instances in which officer use unnecessary force against citizens.

 

It is time for US to say no to this continued injustice. #NoWay.

No Way ft. DAVE & Sulaiman

"Up Making Noise" by Sëla recorded live at WXPN

My city is on the brink of utter confusion and destruction. All of our elected officials have forsaken us. The Democratic Party and the Republican Party are both guilty of murder, racial profiling, and several other continuous hate crimes.
 
Since August 9th we have been  attacked and assaulted by a militarized police force while pleading for justice for our fallen brethren.  The entire city of Saint Louis is about to explode and no one in a position of power has decided to step up and take ownership of this moment. We are crying out to the world for help yet no one hears us. This record was made out of a sense of desperation. Our backs have been forced into a corner and we are currently trapped in the belly of one of the most immoral situations this country has birthed. Darren Wilson is a murderer yet we are hoarded up and treated like cattle for demanding his arrest. Vonderitt Meyers and Kim King are both dead and the police refuse to give us answers. The Ball family still has not received a moment a clarity and honesty concerning the death of their lost family member. The police in Saint Louis Missouri have decided to declare war upon people of color and Gov. Jay Nixon alongside with many other elected officials has decided to close his eyes to these atrocities. He has shielded and aided Michael Browns killer from prosecution. He has cosigned our community being brutally attacked by a uncontrollable force of wild cowboys. Jay Nixon is blatantly standing on the wrong side of history with zero regard for the pain we currently feel as a community. He is not our friend . He is not our comrade.He is not our Governor.He does not work for us. He works for those that have used institutionalized racism to kill us.  

We cry for justice and they tear gas us in return. This situation has turned into a political game of cat and mouse and we are the mice. We believe in non violent protests. We advocate strongly for non-violent protests. Our mission statement is non-violent protests. We say this while we know for a fact that every police precinct in the metropolitan area is preparing to partner with the National Guard and attack us as if we are not tax paying citizens. We have witnessed your cruelty once before. We know you will not stop until there are no more bullets for you to shoot. We pray for peace but we are prepared defend our families. We are prepared to protect our children. We say this while we also realize you are currently preparing your militia to shoot us down in the streets of our  very own communities as if we are stray dogs.  My heart is  heavy simply because I feel helpless. 

My spirit is dampened  by what is to come. I pray for the safety of my friends, family and loved ones. Jay Nixons friends and family will rest safely away from the arms of danger. He will not be tear gassed or violently attacked by the police. He can afford to boldly go on television and protect his political cohorts. None of them will be in the reach of this treacherous militarized police force. If I never record another rap record in my lifetime then so be it. I did this for Saint Louis and the countless victims of police brutality. This is my "War Cry" and I sincerely pray someone hears me before it is too late.
