Meek Mill has always been an ardent supporter of criminal justice reform since his infamous prolonged legal issues threatened to keep him incarcerated for years. In the midst of his city’s the country’s the planet’s protests against police brutality, he shares the track “Otherside Of America.”
“I always dreamed to be on CNN to be able to express myself and speak for the voiceless young men of America,” Meek says at the end (to radio host Michael Smerconish, in a clip). “The first step I would say: I grew up in America in a ruthless neighborhood where we are not protected by police, we grew up in ruthless environments, we grew up around murder, you see murder, you see seven people die a week, I think you would probably carry a gun yourself. Would you?”
