Kemba, the Bronx-based rapper, delves into the disturbing trend of rap lyrics being weaponized within the criminal justice system in the United States and beyond. His exploration uncovers the unsettling reality of law enforcement using artistic expression as incriminating evidence in legal proceedings for many years. This practice not only raises questions about freedom of speech and artistic integrity but also sheds light on the ways in which creativity can be used against individuals within the legal system. Through his music and advocacy, Kemba brings attention to the complex and often overlooked issue of how rap lyrics are being manipulated and exploited by authorities for their own agenda.
