The NZA Posted June 17, 2017 Author Share Posted June 17, 2017 Jay Z: For Father's Day, I'm Taking On the Exploitative Bail Industry Seventeen years ago I made a song, "Guilty Until Proven Innocent." I flipped the Latin phrase that is considered the bedrock principle of our criminal justice system, ei incumbit probatio qui dicit (the burden of proof is on the one who declares, not on one who denies). If you're from neighborhoods like the Brooklyn one I grew up in, if you're unable to afford a private attorney, then you can be disappeared into our jail system simply because you can't afford bail. Millions of people are separated from their families for months at a time — not because they are convicted of committing a crime, but because they are accused of committing a crime.Scholars like Ruthie Gilmore, filmmakers like Ava Duvernay, and formerly incarcerated people like Glenn Martin have all done work to expose the many injustices of the industry of our prison system. Gilmore's pioneering book, The Golden Gulag, Duvernay's documentary 13th and Martin's campaign to close Rikers focus on the socioeconomic, constitutional and racially driven practices and polices that make the U.S. the most incarcerated nation in the world. But when I helped produce this year's docuseries, Time: The Kalief Browder Story, I became obsessed with the injustice of the profitable bail bond industry. Kalief's family was too poor to post bond when he was accused of stealing a backpack. He was sentenced to a kind of purgatory before he ever went to trial. The three years he spent in solitary confinement on Rikers ultimately created irreversible damage that lead to his death at 22. Sandra Bland was also forced to post bail after her minor traffic infraction in Prairie View, Texas, led to a false charge of assaulting a public servant (the officer who arrested her was later charged with perjury regarding the arrest). She was placed in a local jail in a pre-incarcerated state. Again, she was never convicted of a crime. On any given day over 400,000 people, convicted of no crime, are held in jail because they cannot afford to buy their freedom. When black and brown people are over-policed and arrested and accused of crimes at higher rates than others, and then forced to pay for their freedom before they ever see trial, big bail companies prosper. This pre-incarceration conundrum is devastating to families. One in 9 black children has an incarcerated parent. Families are forced to take on more debt, often in predatory lending schemes created by bail bond insurers. Or their loved ones linger in jails, sometimes for months—a consequence of nationwide backlogs. Every year $9 billion dollars are wasted incarcerating people who've not been convicted of a crime, and insurance companies, who have taken over our bail system, go to the bank. Last month for Mother's Day, organizations like Southerners on New Ground and Color of Change did a major fundraising drive to bail out 100 mothers for Mother's Day. Color of Change's exposè on the for-profit bail industry provides deeper strategy behind this smart and inspiring action. This Father's Day, I'm supporting those same organizations to bail out fathers who can't afford the due process our democracy promises. As a father with a growing family, it's the least I can do, but philanthropy is not a long fix, we have to get rid of these inhumane practices altogether. We can't fix our broken criminal justice system until we take on the exploitative bail industry. Jigga fell off, but he's still top 10 for me and acts like this show just how great a dude he is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keth Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 So yeah, a coworker turned me on to this. I listened to Virus and dug it, then sat through this whole album. I never listen to whole albums, much less hip-hop albums. This was fantastic. I want more stuff like this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Da Cap'n 2099 Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 (edited) Try that on for size. EDIT: It's been years since I heard this. I loved it back in the day. It's more crass than the above album (which I forgot about). If it's too much, I won't be offended if you don't like it. There's one song I LOVE on there that you still might like. I'll post it...

The NZA Posted July 22, 2017 Author Share Posted July 22, 2017 that's cool axels - ive never been high enough to really get into deltron but i do enjoy del/hiero on other stuff, i can post em for you (he's pretty varied) but far as i know, that's the only themed one - it's a huge underground classic though. and those tracks panch put me onto forever ago are great too. forgot to post that Jay-Z's 444 was his best work since American Gangster, which was damn near 10 years ago but still, short & tight album where No ID brought out the jay who i think had failed trying similar stuff on BP3, KC etc. and in case anyone hasn't seen the first video off it, it's incredible.

Lorelei Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 I'm on the frence with Kendrick, his '15 LP was just N-word spam. I'm dropping some of the UK scene in here. I predict in 2018, this years, these lads might hit US shores: 1) Lyrics are moronic but the beats are nice with his flow. That vocal sample reminds me of something from years ago though. Can see this in the clubs. 2) This lad's in good form. One of best right now, merging hip hop with grime. Lyrics are decent too, production's there. Any beat he'll flow hard on it 3) Great radiotune, melody over rhymes here, singing rap sort of shite. 4) The more indie, the more artistic approach. This production is just so washed out. I think someone's been watching those "Simpsonswave" / "vaporwave" videos on YT. BLoody impressed with this lad. 5) Lass tears this one up, great hook. Very grimey. 6) Loving this bird. Silky, smooth... I'd call it urban jazz. 7) yes blud. afrobeat, grime and uk garage in the hands of Brummy crew. Bit different. 8) These lot from my town, almost reppin my post code here ahah. 9) Witty fella really:“What’s with all the abuse / I’ve got an awesome excuse / I only fucked your twin cos I thought it was you” LMFAO 10) Never heard anything like this, Blunt, straight talking grime, but its got those American trap sounds in it. 11) Horrible grime, disgusting, raw, unleashed. He's a beast 12) I'm a big Frank Ocean fan, and Frankie boy dropped this lad on his own radio show. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Da Cap'n 2099 Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 This video has officially made me a Drake fan. And this is exactly what South Florida needs right now. All filmed in Miami as if you couldn't tell. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorelei Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 Morning lads. This lad's not only one of the most original lyricists around right now, but this 80s style synth production - I'm loving it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
