In light of the uprising in Baltimore and the police brutality around the country, Boosie BadAzz sends a strong message in the video for his protest anthem “Hands Up.” The powerful clip features footage of demonstrators in the streets of Baltimore, Ferguson, and D.C., while Boosie calls out the crooked cops and pays respects to Michael Brown and Trayvon Martin.
“Police killing kids, kids killing men / Broke and a fifth of gin will make a ni**a sin,” he raps.
The video includes actual news reports and ends with Baltimore prosecutor Marilyn Mosby announcing criminal charges against six cops in the death of 25-year-old Freddie Gray.
The track can be found on Boosie’s new album Touch Down 2 Cause Hell (due May 26), which boasts appearances from Chris Brown, Rick Ross, T.I., and Keyshia Cole.
