Following Beyonce’s powerful open letter, the New York rapper has expressed his frustrations through music.

“I made this song awhile ago, I never got to finish it,” he said.
“Punch (TDE) told me I should drop it when Mike Brown died, sadly I told him, ‘this issue will always be relevant.’ I’m hurt that I knew his death wouldn’t be the last.”
“I’m saddened and disappointed in THIS America – we should be further along. WE ARE NOT.”
