New Video: @ChinaMacMusic - #BuckACop

Red Money Records China Mac has just dropped the visual for the controversal song "Buck a Cop". A song born out of the high social media coverage of the police brutality and corruption happening across America right now. China took this opportunity to be a voice for the oppressed and frustrated people of our nation. Though the title may lead you to believe his suggesting we all grab some guns and start executing them as thy have been doing us. It is bigger than that.. Enjoy.
 

"With all of the oppression the people are forced to live with by the very people who are chosen to protect us, It was only time that a song like "Buck A Cop" would surface. Welcome to the new era.."

Meanwhile in Ferguson, Missouri



In the almost two weeks since Mike Brown was murdered in Ferguson, Missouri we have seen what most residents would call a peaceful community turn into a war zone. With images going viral through social media the scenery looks like a battle between the citizens and powers that be in some third world countries. In what seems like a case that needed no more than common sense to see who was in the wrong and at fault, a war has begun. Literally, with Martial Law allowing the National Guard to occupy and take action on this community whether provoked or not. 



What we are seeing before our eyes is the veil of so called freedom being lifted to see the harsh reality of corrupt powers in control. Our society thrives off silence, fear, and ignorance; so the relentless pursuit for justice in Ferguson is throwing the authorities off. Where normally the crowds would have dispersed with the next breaking news segment, the voices have only grown in numbers and gotten larger.

(For Mike Brown) J. Cole - Be Free

J. Cole was one of the first to respond to the tragedies going on in Ferguson Missouri with the release of this song "Be Free" as well as showing face in the community. Its nice to think some of our artists care.

Mike Brown was MURDERED by a Ferguson Cop.. Period.

18  year old unarmed black teen, Michael Brown, was shot and killed eight to ten times Saturday august 9th 2014 at 2pm in Ferguson, Missouri (a suburb of St. Louis) by a Ferguson police officer. 

Immediately a social media frenzy ensued with a few people on the scene posting pictures and videos from the time Michaels body was left lying in the street (Michael Skolnik tweets, “Mike Brown’s body was left in the street for four hours before the police removed him. #Ferguson”) to videos of the “riots” that ensued during protests over the weekend. Sunday the chief of Ferguson police held a press conference stating that Brown had “physically assaulted” the officer in his vehicle, attempted to take his gun and then was shot while running away. 

This statement came a day after many eye witness statements such as Dorian Johnson who had been walking with Brown. Johnson said he was walking with Brown in the middle of the street when a police car pulled up. The officer told the teens to use the sidewalk, according to Johnson. After an exchange of words, the officer "shot, and once my friend felt that shot, he turned around and put his hands in the air, he started to get down and the officer still approached with his weapon drawn and fired several more shots."

This being corroborated by several others that stated they saw Brown with his hands up when he was shot several times, and that shots originated from inside the cop’s vehicle. Yet this officer is on paid administrative leave pending an investigation for... murder?


This is the third occasion in a month where a black man (Eric Garner, John Crawford) was killed at the hands of an officer. Each one taking paid or non-paid leaves while investigations ensue. Talk about stalling techniques. When someone kills a cop in front of people do they get the luxury of never being arrested and booked till an investigation ensues?

First… the cover ups.
