This is the latest evolution of gangsta: it's brash, unashamed, and touches on social injustice and the plague of poverty. Admittedly, Skinnyman did something similar (beautifully) in 2006. But I've never heard something like this out of the States... Obviously there's conscious hip-hop, but Freddie's not as righteous as that - he's an unabashed gangster, analysing the origins of his criminality.
This is good. The video's beautiful too: a love song to a suffering community.
