The Dope Show

Still celebrating #DillaDay, Slum Village member Young RJ drops off his dope, self-produced track “I Know” featuring Detroit rap vets Guilty Simpson and Phat Kat.

Young RJ explaining the song:

“I Know” discusses the issues arising from Black Men being products of their environment. Due to the intricate economic systems put in place, Black men have been set up to fail from the womb (or beginning). Many feel this is a controversial topic, with a lot of truth behind it. A particular verse that stands out is, “wanna see a ni*ga fail, they wanna see me dead or in jail.”

The street conscious record serves as the first single from Young RJ’s much-anticipated upcoming endeavor, The Detroit Project, that will feature more collaborations with Guilty Simpson and Phat Kat.

Stream “I Know” below and look for the project to drop soon.
