Talk about “The Bigger Picture” by Lil Baby from Atlanta, Georgia. What I like about it is, if you weren't paying attention to the lyrics, then it sounds just like workout music. Why it's happening and why there's outcry against policing and various racial disparities. I feel like Meek really sets the scene for everything that's going on right now. On top of that, all the issues with policing. There's injustice, a lack of opportunities. It speaks to the floor under which all the stuff that's happening right now is leveled on. ‘The Other Side of America’ is basically the story of how a guy ends up in jail and the story of the conditions that lead someone into a life on the wrong side of the law. That's been sort of the story with him for the last three or four years. So when he came back, he immediately turned into. It felt like the judge was really trying to throw the book at him. He ended up back in jail for a long time. Meek Mill had a promising career and got sidelined by some pre-existing law enforcement issues. “He’s the Philly rapper who came up under Rick Ross, the Miami rapper, who has a label called Maybach Music Group. Tell us about Meek Mill’s “The Other Side of America” and why you think it’s more appropriate for this moment. I like the song, but the last time I tried to listen to it, it was a little difficult. We're still having the same issues happen. And another five years later, we're still fighting the injustices. But five years ago, that seemed like it was right around the corner. The refrain, ‘we're going to be alright,’ is that what you particularly take exception to? We've got many rivers to cross before we get to that.” It's the song you play at the party when everything is over. It's a little bit too excited about the end game - when it's going to take a lot of feet in the streets, when it's going to take a government action, and when it's going to take a lot of just perseverance. I don't feel like it's the song for this moment because it is a little bit too gung-ho about things.
