Young Dolph Sheds Light on Police Brutality in "The Land" Visual
“They got me face down on the pavement, just ‘cause I’m a Black man in America.”
Young Dolph released his newest LP Rich Slav back in August which featured 16 tracks and appearances by Megan Thee Stallion, Paper Route artist Key Glock, and G Herbo. The Memphis rapper now returns with a striking visual from his project entitled “The Land” produced by Hunnit Band Yung and Sosa 808.
The emotion-charged music video depicts Dolph rapping about police brutality and racial discrimination: “The police pulled me over for nothin’, just because she racist, two minutes later, it’s five police cars, they got me face down on the pavement, just ‘cause I’m a Black man in America, that’s what give them permission to treat us terrible/ They too smart, too ambitious, too dangerous and vicious, every day I wake up, I make rich n***a decisions, the first person in my family to run up the millions, you ain’t one hundred, ain’t got no morals, then I don’t want no dealings.”
The clip reflects the social unrest stateside with the ongoing waves of protests sparked by the murder of George Floyd by law enforcement back in May. The visual shows Dolph getting pulled over and pinned down by the police. He’s later shown spray painting Black Lives Matter phrases and the names of those who died at the hands of police onto a patrol vehicle as an act of protest.
