On Coming Up With The Sean Bell Tribute Song: "First of all, rest in peace to Sean Bell. My condolences go out to the family and friends. I had heard a few records from some New York artists, whose names I won’t mention, and I wasn’t very pleased with what they were doing. This was when word first broke about the murder in 2006. I decided that I was going to do a record, but if I was going to do a record I was going to stand apart from other artists that were doing it. If I do a record like they did, then people would look at me the same way that I was looking at them. So, I decided that I was going to get in the shoes of Sean Bell and talk about the night of him dying, him at his funeral, him seeing the press conferences and him just talking to the youth and letting them know that we have to come together and do better than what’s going on right now.

I don’t agree with the verdict. I feel like it’s a call for open season on minorities. They’re condoning 50 shots as a valid police procedure. It’s outrageous. You wouldn’t hear about that going on in Williamsburg where the Jewish people stay. That’s not to discredit the Jewish community, but, that wouldn’t happen there. It may just end up being the cops coming away hurt. They had a riot in Williamsburg, a while back, and cops got hurt, windows were smashed, but nothing happened to the Jewish community. That just shows the mind state of the police department and the mental state of America, right now. I just feel like more people need to speak up outside of Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson. We need stronger black leaders. People that aren’t gonna exploit the tyranny that’s going on. We need people that appear when nothing is wrong, people that will stand up for us when nothing is wrong. Like, those are the type of leaders we need. Not someone who is going to exploit the camera for their own well-being. That’s just my opinion."
