The recent uprising across the United States has brought a major awareness to the injustices going on across the country. Black Americans have been fighting for equality for a long time but it feels like the recent deaths of George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor, and more have put a spotlight on the systemic oppression in place.
Though many artists have found ways to either raise funds, awareness or both, many have also been inspired by the recent protests. Dizzy Wright came through with a bouncy new single that he self-produced titled, "Police Can't See Me Alive." From his perspective and experiences, Dizzy details the common injustices he and his community have faced over the years, especially when it comes to the police. "I can't breathe/ Officer please, lift up your knee," he starts his first verse in reference to Floyd's murder.

Quotable Lyrics
We don't know when it's gon' end
Don't know what kind of training they was in
They usin' unnecessary force
But you didn't see that in the report
They send us off in a hearse
Then they go home and watch sports
